Mixed Media Canvas

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing with you my first ever attempt at a mixed media canvas. In the last couple of days, I haven't been in the mood to create anything. Didn't feel making a card or a layout...mojo gone! I watched some craft videos that I have saved and I watched some She Art tutorials. After watching the Christy Tomlinson Mixed Media Collage: She Art (tease to she art class) & Somerset Studios Project I felt motivated! The techniques I tried out are found in her tutorial. If you would like to watch the tutorial, click here.

I have been a fan of the She Art style for a little while now. I love the freedom to explore and the textures and different materials that you can implement into your design. For my project, I pulled out lots of things that have been stored away for a long time....rub ons, scrap papers and my latest additions some stencils (new and old). I tend to be an impulsive craft shopper. If I see something I'll buy it and may not use it for 6-12 months or even longer! Most of the products that I used are by Kaisercraft. I have some bits and pieces of papers from past collections that I haven't used and saw this as a way of using them.

Here is my take on the girl....

Here are some other close ups...

This quote was from older rubon range from Kaisercraft. I rubbed sections of the quote onto some scraps from the project, cut it out, applied paint around the edge and doodled with a black felt tip pen.
