a dream....is a wish

Hi everyone.....

THANK YOU sooo MUCH

for stopping by my blog.

I am SOOOO EXCITED to be Guest Designing
for

Mixed Media Monthly Challenge.

This month's sponsor is 

with a $25 Gift Certificate!

I created a mood board to base my creation on....
the theme is...

(OK....so a may be a bit shabby rustic
but it works for me!!)

I received a custome designed box from

Canvas Corp Brands to match my board.

Here is end result!

....and this is how i created this 6 x 6 Canvas.

I began by cutting 1.5" squares from

Roma Book Cover

Burlap ~ Lt Pink

C~ Flute ~ Kraft.

I applied the squares to my canvas with Multi Medium.

I then sprayed the entire canvas with

Vanilla Breeze

Vintage Brass

When dry, I lathered on a bit of gesso

and set it aside to dry.

I cut petals for my flower out of

vintage curtains and painted on

Times Square Glimmer Glam.

When it dries....the material

is stiffer and is able to be manipulated.

When drying the petals I crumpled

them in my hand.

When dry, I pinched the fabric together

and stapled it.

I cut a 1" circle from crafter paper

and adhered the petals in layers

with Multi Medium.

As my flower is drying,
I keep manipulating the petals.
With a round brush I painted
on a bit of
Vintage Brass
Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

I had previously applied a layer

of White Stucco which had been drying.

I then dipped my canvas in the left over

ink on my craft mat.

I pulled out a Window chippie,

globbed on gesso.

When mostly dry,

I spritzed the window frame with

Bash

Vintage Brass

When dry I cut a bit of

vintage curtain and adhered it to the back

of my window frame with Multi Medium.

I cut ivy from a piece of linen paper.

I spritzed the entire vine with

Bash

and painted on

Safari Green for contrast.

I spritzed 3 flowers with

Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

I also cut spiral flowers from

Pen & Tell Her.

When everything was dry I put my canvas together.

I began by stapling a piece of

Birch Bark

to my canvas.

Here are a few closeups....

I finished off my canvas with

verbage chosen from

Words for Art.

I hope you have enjoyed my creative process!!

I think I may need to create mood boards

MORE OFTEN.

Thank you to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge

I TRULY ENJOYED THIS.
