I'm guest designing for Word Art Wednesday again!! The challenge is Anything Goes #470-471.
Christmas is such a special time of year. All the decorations, presents, family and fun. But there is so much more to Christmas than it being a holiday. Christmas is the time Christians celebrate the birth of our Saviour and King!
I love to incorporate scripture into my canvas paintings!!
Below is the FREE scripture being offered right now by Word Art Wednesday.
I started by applying DecoArt Matte Medium gel on my 12x12 flat board canvas.
I printed the scripture out on my printer full size. Tear off around the edges so you only have the words. Use a brayer to smooth out the paper into the gel medium. Let it dry overnight.
Next day, I spritzed water on top of the paper and started rubbing in circular motion around the paper. This takes a little time, so be patient. Soon, I had all the paper removed. I applied a thin coat and wiped off of the Americana Decor Chalky Finish paint Timeless. I dried it with my heat tool so I could sketch my design on top. Once the design was sketched, I add some Americana Decor Chalky Finish -color Legacy. Then painted in the image in Americana Black acrylic paint.
I love the result!! Will be displaying on my mantel!
