Hello beautiful crafters,
Today on my table is a very easy to make canvas using the
left overs from the stash. The techniques used in this project are very easy
to follow and you will be able to make this beautiful piece of art in no time. So
dig into your stash and get set go!
Before starting always prime your canvas with gesso – white
or clear your choice. Next choose the stencil of your choice and create the
design randomly here and there. I have used a doily stencil to create a design
in the plus sign way. On the remaining area I added crackle texture paste to
give it the grungy look I wanted.
Next is to figure out your focal point and the elements that
go with it. I chose this steampunk winged heart chipboard from mudra. I heat
embossed it using Yellow versa mark ink and some clear gloss embossing powder.
I wanted to give this embellishment a 3-d effect so heat set it 3 times. I also
heat embossed my clock dial in black first and then added the rust colors to
make it look grungy.
Similarly, to fill in the blank spaces around the focal point I used some random mdf letters I had in my stash. I painted them with rust effect pastes from prima. You could use any mental charms or steampunk gears or even 3-d alpha stickers, whatever you have in your stash, to fill the space. Just prime your embellishments and then color at your wish.

I used impasto paints to color my background and added some
leftover jute cord to create more dimension. To distress the edges I used ink
blending tool and distress ink pad in the color ground espresso.
Here are some detailed pics!
