Aunt Canvas with Candy

Hi Everyone Candy here with my latest mixed media canvas.

This one is for an order for a friend

from her Granddaughter to her Aunt...

Just love this verse

I'm not just an

Aunt

I'm a big cup of 

Wonderful, 

Covered in Awesome

Sauce

with a splash of sassy

and a 

dash of crazy

I firstly applied white gesso to the canvas.

Then applied the modelling paste and the mask all over.

Let this dry

Apply your sprays I used coffee and turquoise around the canvas

I used a spray water bottle to dilute the colour

and don't forget to dry between colours or you will

make mud...

It took me a while until I was happy with the colours

just don't forget it will dry lighter.

I glued the plastic frame using a good strong glue

My canvas had a cut out piece where you place the photo

underneath. 

This is where I glued my frame.

If your frame is glossy give a rub down with sandpaper

to roughen so the gesso and sprays will take.

I covered my chipboard pieces with gesso

then using versamark then my embossing enamel

cover well.

Then place your flowers, chipbaord pieces, leaves etc where

you want them, then glue down.

I added some gold around my canvas just to give it a highlight.
I also went over my verse with a black permanent pen to make stand out.
