Hi Dusty Attic fans!!! It's Jacqueline here today to share with you a quick canvas I made based on this month's moodboard. When I first saw the colors I was like oh no I can't use those together. While they looked stunning in the picture, red is just not me. The more I looked at the picture though and thought about how pretty the red and green looked together, the more I wanted to try it.
Here is the moodboard:
Here is what I came up with:
'Forever'
I wanted the hearts to be the feature of the canvas, so I have simply painted them white with a couple of coats of Gesso so that they really stand out against the reds and greens.
Some details:
For my title I have taken the word 'Forever' from the Word Pack 19. I have simple colored it with black ink, then used a white gel pen to outline the letters.
I have layered the middle sized Lacey Heart Frame above a cluster of flowers, then placed a die-cut flower and a few other flowers on top, before adding the smallest Lacey Heart Frame and my title on top.
I have taken 2 of theses leafy stems from Foliage #2 and placed one on either side of the canvas. I have used Gel Medium to attach some Glass microspheres from 13 Arts, then painted them both with Metallic green paint.
I finished off by adding a few hearts from the Mini Hearts #2 pack, with I have covered in Chunky Gold Glitter.
That's all from me today.
I hope you have enjoyed my post!! I will be back again soon with more to share.
