Thanksgiving art with Rebecca Baer Stencil

Happy Labor Day!!

Fall is here! I am so ready! I love the colors of fall, the weather, pumpkin spice mix-I love it all!

Today I'm sharing with you a 5x7 canvas I quickly made with Rebecca Baer stencil and DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint. It's so easy -but makes a great statement!

Here's what your going to learn how to make!!

I started with a coat of Autumn Red. Dry thoroughly.

Next using a palette knife, I applied a coat of Rebecca Baer's Stenciling Gel

over top RB Honeycomb Stencil -I used the 5.75x5.75, but they come in 3 different sizes.

It's white when you put it on, but allow it to dry overnight and this is the result! Like magic!!

Then I painted a coat of DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint Moon Yellow. Wipe it off with baby wipe. Apply another coat and wipe off. The stencil gel is a resist to the top coat of paint. Everywhere you've applied the gel is going to show the first layer of paint used.

This I added some embellishments and voila! My finished product. This 5x7 canvas will fit in a 5x7 frame -just take the glass out and display for all to enjoy.

I hope this will inspire you to make some fall themed decorations for your home!

Happy Fall Y'all!!

Faith/Hope/Love Mixed Media Canvas

I am super excited to share my first post as a Design Team member for Rebecca Baer!!

I've used several of her beautiful stencils on this mixed media canvas along with her specially designed stenciler brush.

I started out with a 16x20 canvas that I paint with lots of white and burnt umber tones. I divided the canvas into rectangles using washi tape and painters tape and painted solid blocks of red and brown.

Then I got out my stencils! Today I've combined four different stencils using the stenciler.

As I moved the stencils around the canvas, only using sections of some of the stencils, but the whole stencil in some areas, I repeated the main colors. Some area were overlapped with multiple stencils. Some area after the paint had dried, I added some Metallic Lustre in matching colors in random areas.
Rebecca's Stenciler does such an awesome job allowing you get get a crisp image from the stencil.

Once I was happy with my layout, I used some background stencils from my stash with some Black Archival ink and dabbed in random areas. This is how you start bringing the whole canvas together. I even did some dabbing with bubble wrap and white paint.

After deciding what inspirational words I'd use, I cut Faith, Hope and Love with my Cricut. To add more dimension and variety, I used the negative to do more stenciling with white paint on top of the words.

I attached the cut out words with Matte Medium. Went around the letters with burnt umber and black to highlight them. To tone down the white paper, I painted on top of the words with a mix of white paint and Rose Gold Metallic Lustre.

I'm already displaying my finished piece on my mantle! I love how it turned out. I hope you'll be inspired to layer your stencils and mix them up!

Wedding Canvas with Lindy's Stamp Gang

TGIF!

I wanted to share with you this mixed media canvas I created for a newlywed couple.

I used lots of layers of diecuts and gesso. The swirls are chipboard.

After gluing everything down with Liquitex gel medium, I applied a layer of gesso.

Allow to dry and then get your sprays out!

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow colors.

I dried each color before applying the next one. Gave lots of personality!!
I cut the names and date with my Cricut Jasmine cartridge. Added those with gel medium under and on top of them-they aren't going anywhere!!

The last thing I added was the metal "together" "forever" words.

I love how it turned out! The bride did too!!

I wish Amber and Curtis the absolute best in their married life. I pray they put God first and everything else will take care of itself!

Have a terrific Friday!!

Mixed Media Technique

I shared this technique with my OWSE group. We have art technique class every Wednesday evening at 7PM. I hope you'll join us.

I found these butterfly images on pintrest-free! Printed and fussy cut them. Used collage glue to attach to my 8x10 canvas. (as well as that scrap piece of DP) I made a gesso wash by adding some water to my acrylic gesso (Traditions gesso) and went over top of my beautiful butterflies. Dry well before moving on.

I mixed a rust and turquoise color using traditions acrylic paint. Smeared across my canvas with a palette knife. Dry really well before moving onto the next step.
Apply another wash of gesso on top to dull own the color and push everything to the background. Allow to dry well.

Using a 3x4 stamp (Hero ARts) I stamped from top to bottom with brown Archival Ink. As you can see-it doesn't matter that its the same pattern-it blends into the background. I also did the same thing using some words stamps and black archival ink. If it's still darker than you want-do a last wash with gesso and dry.

Then add your embellishments and words.
The words is from a Christian song by Johnny Diaz-More Beautiful you.

Here's a close up of my chipboard bird. I put gesso on it, painted then stamped and coated it in crackle medium. Turned out so cool! I used one of my background butterflies to put on the back of my Prima Riley Stamp. Loved that too!

More Beautiful you will be for sale at my Etsy store. HERE

The Love Chapter done Mixed Media

Our Scripture this week @ Word Art Wednesday is in I Corinthians. You find the FREE word art on our Perfect Sentiments site.

When I think of "The Love Chapter" I can't help but think of Jesus. My hearts desire is to love others as Jesus did. The meaning of love is spelled out in this chapter. It sets high standards. I have to work on it daily. But love is worth it-isn't it?

I start by printing the scripture on a thick piece of cardstock. I then crumbed it up. Straightened it back out.....

The I took light & distress ink to lightly go over. The lines grab the most ink

its looking old & weathered

I sprayed cranberry mist & sponged-then sponged King's moon yellow. I got my stamps out & stamped with momento brown ink around the edges of my canvas.

I came back with watered down yellow & highlighted the flowers.

I added some tags, layered some Wild Orchid Roses to frame out the canvas.


I hope this will encourage you to incorporate scripture into your art. We have 2 prizes this week: My Craft Spot by Kimberly - www.craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com My Heart Pieces - www.myheartpiecesdigitalstamp.blogspot.com

"Dream" Mixed Media Canvas

Multi Media Art on Canvas

I found the pattern for the girl on a blog. I saved it to use & now can't find the blog so I can give her credit.

I love making cards & layouts. I've combined my love of that on my 2nd love-canvas.

I started by painting my canvas with acrylic white. Then spritzed pink, blue & green mist sprays.

I used a sponge to soften the edges & blend.

I traced around my pieces of the lady & cut them out. Distressed all the edges. I cut some petals & made flowers. Found some clear buttons in my stash & added to the middle of them. Everything was glued with mod podge.

I think it turned out beautifully!

Theme: It's all about love...His love
Dates: Feb. 9-13

Jesus loves us the same as his Father loves him! What a wonderful promise. The greek word there for love is agape. It means unconditional love. Doesn't matter what's in our past-when we ask for forgiveness-it's gone. God doesn't hold grudges. Sometimes we cant "feel" his love. There may be some obstacle in our love walk keeping us from feeling his presence like we should. Examine yourself & ask him to show you wants holding you back. I want to experience God's love every day.

I used 8x10 canvas to paint vines growing-just like our love grows for God. He loved us so much he sent his son Jesus to die on a cross. He gave his all for us. We only have to give our love back. I printed out our word art verse and mod-podged it onto the canvas. I stamped a heart in distress ink. Coated the entire thing with more mod-podge.
