I've been wanting to do another canvas for ages and when I saw the September 'Take it, Make it' Challenge from Craft Stamper Magazine I thought now would be a good time. It is all about stamping on tissue paper. This is the best way of getting stamping on a canvas as it is very tricky to get a good impression if you stamp directly onto the textured surface of a canvas. Here it is....
I used a whole lot of stuff for this one. I started with modelling paste and a stencil, then after it dried I brushed the whole surface with gesso. I then sprayed a 'Flat Fabio' from Lindy's Stampgang on it and sprayed some water to make it blend nicely into the canvas. From there on I used Caran d'Ache water-soluble crayons, Inka gold in blue and green and black ink, all applied with my fingers to get it to blend. I repeated this several times to get some depth into the background. When I was happy with it I splattered some black and white ink. Next I stamped my image, a stamp by Dina Wakley onto tissue paper and when dry I adhered it to the canvas with gel medium. I used a white paint pen to draw some dots along her right side and on the edge of the canvas. With some more white ink and a bottle cap I stamped some circles. Lastly I put some Tim Holtz rub ons on and gave the whole thing a coat of gel medium to protect it.
Thanks for stopping by !
Hope you like it....

ReplyDeleteA lot of work has gone into making this Corrie, a labour of love! Your right it's very difficult to stamp onto canvas, I think stamping onto the tissue is a good way to achieve stamping onto canvas!
