Hi everyone, it's Earth Day and the teams of Earth Safe Finishes and StencilGirl are blog hopping. I've got a mini recycled canvas to share.
I started by painting the canvas with Earth Safe Finishes Gesso to cover a previous project I didn't like. Then I painted on Cotton Candy Pink Chalk It Up paint and, while still wet, I painted on a light layer of Whipped Cream Chalk It Up paint.
This canvas may be small, but it was the perfect size for Stencil Girl's Grow Strong Stencil and Mask. Using the Mask, I painted Plum Preserves Chalk It Up Paint. Once dry (and it didn't take that long), I placed the stencil on top and painted on Shear Pearl Iridescents.
Love the shine!
Stencil Girl Set #1 Rafters, Web, Gears Stencil is a fun set that can embellish any project. I used the Web stencil around the edges with Berry Iridescents. I also used it about the left corner.
I masked the flower and stamped a script stamp around the canvas using Ann Butler Designs Crafter's Ink in Desert Sand. Then I aged the canvas by inking the edges with Desert Sand. To finish I used scrabble squares that I painted with Licorice Chalk It Up paint then added stickers on top.
StencilGirl is offering a prize so leave a comment on everyone's blog for a chance to win. Be sure to check out the projects these designers have created:
