Imagine Possibility

Morning, hope you are all enjoying your weekend. We have another fabulous challenge for you over at the Love to Create Challenge Blog where the theme is Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes.

I created a mixed media canvas this week using PanPastels Turquoise Tint, Turquoise Shade, Turquoise Extra Dark and Permanent Red.

I applied DecoArt Crackle Paste through Finnabair's (Prima) Grungy Grid stencil to add texture to the background and I then applied the same paste through Tim Holtz Hearts Layering Stencil to add further interest.

I applied PanPastels around the background of the canvas and then added some paint circles using Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Paints. I also added Remnant Rubs for added interest.

To give the backdrop some sheen I added Gold Mica Powder from Finnabair and Teal Zircon Primary Elements, both adding further layers of colour to the background. I then applied a coat of Mod Podge to protect and to prevent the PanPastels from moving whilst I applied further layers of the same colours.

I also included some vintage nibs for added dimension and added rusty wire around my centre piece. The centre piece is one of Sandra Evertson's cast pieces from Prima. I applied Crackle Paste to the Relic Cast piece, allowed to dry and then coloured with PanPastels and then added a coat of Mod Podge.

I also added some texture with a hot glue gun, adding strings of glue direct to the canvas. I also added touches of black splatters using Black Soot Distress Paint.

I added a metallic touch to the heart by applying more Gold Mica.

There is still time to enter our challenge and a chance to win a fabulous postcard from one of the DT members. My postcard from last week can been seen HERE, simply leave a comment on my postcard blog post for a chance to win a piece of art.
