I am so excited to bring you my very first 13arts creation as a Guest Designer to you. Each month 13arts have a challenge and this month for June it is "Textures and Layers". I love both of these things so it was an easy creation for me to make. I used a 12x12 thin canvas for this one as I knew there would be lots of medium and didn't want warpy paper!
"Make a Difference"
I was heavily influenced by the prompt for the challenge. I not only loved the cracked paint surfaces but I also loved the colours.
I incorporated some of the Colored Grit LIGHT BLUE into the project as well as some Natural Mica Flakes LIGHT GOLD to create texture.
I also plastered on some Ayeeda Medium Modeling Paste. I allowed it to dry as much as I could before spraying some of the Ayeeda Mists Chalk over it. When I then hit it with the heat gun to dry the mists, it dried with a crackled effect!
Then I added some Ayeeda Paint Matte Caramel Matte Cobalt Matte Turquoise over the top in sections to paint my chippy and to add another layer of colour.
The sprays I used were Ayeeda Mists Chalk Indigo, Chalk Untramarine, Chalk Yellow Amber and Pastel Turquoise. These colours worked a treat together.
I absolutely adored playing along with this challenge! It was so much fun making sure I layered my project and created as much texture as I could.
You can purchase them from the store or you can locate a stockist near you. For my Australian friends we can purchase 13arts products from Sassy Scrappers.
Here is a complete list of the products I used.
I'll be back again at the end of the month with some more yummy 13arts goodies for you :) Thanks for popping in x

ReplyDeleteI love love love it :) Your canvas is magnificent!!! So many layers and different media. And the mix of colours is so energetic :D.Whole looks a little bit messy, but i think that every little thing is exactly like you wont it, that's why it is so beautiful. Brilliantly reflects the sentence that you pick " be free, be creative" <3 <3
