"..... to Beautify the Place of my Sanctuary" My inspiration for beautiful artwork on canvas and art journals.
Mixed media, texture, layers, flourishes, stamping and stenciling, inks, lots of hand painted roses, heartfelt wording, vintage themes, and distressed effects are techniques that I love to work with.
Art Workshops at my studio in Springfield and also at Bella Paperie, Brendale.
My Hope is that Art, May Truly Beautify your Soul.Tracey Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16557956067001443938noreply@blogger.comBlogger55125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135182334008357078.post-36660548230059829622020-06-09T07:19:00.006+10:002020-06-09T07:22:38.307+10:00Upcoming Mixed Media Workshop In July<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWJox2pKw9r77SCktM3cPEL7hyphenhyphenK9QmTcV31kwvz8UM7BB88hyrddX7J2V5qovE_JL3Jem_ttg0toZc4wuY2ro_1Js5h9EOobqHcRtmpzPAkl9eeg0langttqukkN1deX2-OckbrmG7VDN/s750/89257166_206506113741590_1479066469068177408_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="750" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcWJox2pKw9r77SCktM3cPEL7hyphenhyphenK9QmTcV31kwvz8UM7BB88hyrddX7J2V5qovE_JL3Jem_ttg0toZc4wuY2ro_1Js5h9EOobqHcRtmpzPAkl9eeg0langttqukkN1deX2-OckbrmG7VDN/w320-h116/89257166_206506113741590_1479066469068177408_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><font face="georgia"><font size="6">"Once Upon a Time..."</font><br /></font><br /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><font face="georgia">This "Deer" little original mixed media project will be available to create at Bella Paperie Store at Brendale Qld on the 18th July ph 07 32055911 if you want to book your place.<br /></font><font face="georgia">Covid distancing will be practiced in large creating space</font></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>Come along after our looooong break from being able to teach and attend art classes, lets make lots of collage, texture, stenciling, shading - and try your hand at painting this little deer .</div><div>Suitable for Art Journals and small canvas.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>Tracey Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16557956067001443938noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135182334008357078.post-81612129465236253322020-05-16T04:40:00.003+10:002020-05-16T07:32:57.068+10:00Just Breathe - Mixed Media Mandala Tutorial<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1. Start your page by applying Black Texture paste through your favourite mandala stencils .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a palette knife, dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0r7iUQEnxO74a1r_E1S-GaMhN2gOtjfbtDWIRSc1WyTr0RyNh_pX5shmJyDREhdyaIynQMXySQu_FRW-SfnnYiSUrUqZWY6Klvq2w1bPZAeaitl9HLgIY59YeBjO-YeU3Pef8EClqPCqq/s1600/89352824_522419995126938_385745955044982784_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="750" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0r7iUQEnxO74a1r_E1S-GaMhN2gOtjfbtDWIRSc1WyTr0RyNh_pX5shmJyDREhdyaIynQMXySQu_FRW-SfnnYiSUrUqZWY6Klvq2w1bPZAeaitl9HLgIY59YeBjO-YeU3Pef8EClqPCqq/s400/89352824_522419995126938_385745955044982784_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2. Apply a glaze over page, paint on lightly and wipe off with soft cloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used Deco Art Vintage Effects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When this is dry, add a white glaze, wipe back as much or little as you prefer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3, Using different sized bottle lids, dip into black paint and stamp circle impressions over your work, repeat this later with white paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a background script stamp with archival black ink and stamp image randomly into background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4. Use an wooden carved block stamp to add extra patterns to the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used Deco Art Metallic paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add gold shading to page using gold wax, {any brand}, I have applied mine with my finger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can highlight different aspects of your design or just the page edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5. Stencil your chosen words onto page with paint. Add your embellishments. I have used some printed lazer copies of butterflies, cut them out and used Modge Podge to apply to page. You may like to add colour to your butterfly wings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Page Finished!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the same technique but on a canvas. Love these processes, Hope you enjoy your own experimentation!</div>

"I will write Peace" Mixed Media Tutorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try this in your art journal or on a canvas, both will have great results!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This our background, to make this effect use a scraper or palette knife and apply texture/modelling paste over your background surface in random applications. Does not have to cover 100%, but at least 80%. You want to create some texture, so don't make it too smooth! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dry with a hairdryer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a combination of colours of acrylic paints, for this project "thinner' paints work better then the heavier body brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a 1" basecoating brush quickly paint in sections of your background, leaving the darker Paynes Grey colour to the bottom, as they are thin paints you can wet on wet blend the colours as they meet together. Dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a medium weight sandpaper, sand over your project, this will highlight your initial texture layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a fan brush speckle over your piece with thinned Gesso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a circle stencil to create the moon, first i applied a layer of white Gesso, then added some yellow acrylic paint to the bottom and side edge. I then added some gold metallic paint as an extra highlight, I used my finger to blend, but a paintbrush will work!</div>

Stencil in your birds, I have chosen to feature the crane. Use a foam makeup sponge to stencil, I have kept the flying crane light and the standing up crane dark for a point of difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To paint in branches , use a scraper ( got mine from the hardware store) dip it into Burnt Umber paint then apply to surface, lift up, and go again! Make sure you have thick and thin impressions as it makes your branches more "real".</div>

Use a mandala dot tool dipped in white acrylic paint and add "dots" to your branches to imply blossoms. These tools/stylus have different sized balls on the end to create various sized dots. Use the wooden end of some of your paintbrushes if you don't have these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will notice in the photo, i have stenciled in some small flying cranes near the moon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In finishing this piece I have hand written sayings that I believe to be encouraging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a normal pencil, but you of course can use a pen if preferred.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want to use these words here they are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Paint the flying spirit of the bird, rather than its feathers"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use Burnt Umber to add shadow under the moon, around the crane and also on bottom edge of project. I have used and angle flat shader brush for this. As an alternative you could also use a brown Tim Holtz distress crayon and smudge the shadow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final detail to our "peace" project is adding a layer of gold glitter paint over the moon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It doesn't show up very well in the photo but looks beautiful in real life!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1. Cover your entire page or canvas with papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have chosen a letter/postcard and envelope theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use matte medium to adhere your papers making sure to add a top coat over the paper as well. Try to remove any air bubbles as you glue!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When dry apply white Gesso to a piece of bubble wrap, (I like to use a Brayer to spread it out) and then apply the bubble print to random areas of your surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you look at the photo you can just make out the bubble circles on top of the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74cGflwILPjDnS8RvjIN5FMgIrFpshpjLWxqvTZACT6XrA-yh_buTLA3M01gTC8P7jmeNLUxf7v485S7CuP_OOkP1Et6SrpfeEd6SAetcsZ5-UBRBDDn9VH-37svlAJZoI958fKVHVkL6/s1600/84505968_213028013163958_688486276910809088_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1103" data-original-width="1600" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74cGflwILPjDnS8RvjIN5FMgIrFpshpjLWxqvTZACT6XrA-yh_buTLA3M01gTC8P7jmeNLUxf7v485S7CuP_OOkP1Et6SrpfeEd6SAetcsZ5-UBRBDDn9VH-37svlAJZoI958fKVHVkL6/s320/84505968_213028013163958_688486276910809088_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2 Using a water sprayer , lightly wet the surface , then spray over your work with brown spray ink. I have used walnut ink which i made up in a spray bottle from walnut crystals and water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see the Gesso bubble wrap print acts as a resist. Dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3 Print out a laser ink image of a girl profile sketch. You can google images or sketch your own face! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the matte medium to glue in place, use a water colour black pencil to extend her shoulder area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFqYM5GWnGSWBvTgsP5hBEJLqEKZWHzsNiKaX-qrI4rK_9Hj7xpmVuRRRyla8tNKjSyIMNQauSpZdvE7rorT6E4l5iaZ_T4Gq1Ozm_9hTgnybGvmLcg59fOvHbsyU9J-RA0uS6NSv154w/s1600/84691487_2147713565332174_848117605574115328_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1096" data-original-width="1600" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFqYM5GWnGSWBvTgsP5hBEJLqEKZWHzsNiKaX-qrI4rK_9Hj7xpmVuRRRyla8tNKjSyIMNQauSpZdvE7rorT6E4l5iaZ_T4Gq1Ozm_9hTgnybGvmLcg59fOvHbsyU9J-RA0uS6NSv154w/s320/84691487_2147713565332174_848117605574115328_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4 Apply different green acrylic paint to your bubble wrap and print in your background foliage . I started with the darkest green, then added lighter shades. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the face : water down acrylic paint to "wash" in colour. I have used Jo Sonja Skin Tone Base, and usually use a soft filbert brush to apply, while it is damp add a watery pink cheek colour and then highlight with white acrylic. Use a baby wipe to remove anything too heavy. Add the white highlight to eyes, and I have used Jo Sonja Brown earth for eye colour and eyebrows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For Hair: water down the Brown Earth ( or similar colour) and again apply a wash of paint where you want the hair to go, as you can see i want mine to extend to the end of the piece. Add some white acrylic paint highlights using a liner brush. Use your black water colour pencil to add depth to her hair, add a little water to activate the pencil for shading. Make sure your "Hair" flows in different directions, we don't have perfectly straight hair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also use this pencil for any extra shadow on the girls face, under cheekbone, neck etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWd5gzLTkenj_36bX9sr0xHPgxMqYGbb_QdvfsbYyuyHuTqlbxvg8Bwsr0eFRl6lkNg4bESZqJc8i4YuPdsDzk0Borbyi2G1DVKAbyQjXj0SjA7AGrZU38w-WsKYpQu36Kxno_cWWAxjji/s1600/83347458_1029998747367055_3984839157938651136_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWd5gzLTkenj_36bX9sr0xHPgxMqYGbb_QdvfsbYyuyHuTqlbxvg8Bwsr0eFRl6lkNg4bESZqJc8i4YuPdsDzk0Borbyi2G1DVKAbyQjXj0SjA7AGrZU38w-WsKYpQu36Kxno_cWWAxjji/s320/83347458_1029998747367055_3984839157938651136_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5 I have chosen a daisy stencil from Scrap Divas ( purchase from Australian Ebay) The daisy can be purchased in different sizes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use acrylic Titanium White paint for your daisies, either stencil with a brush or makeup wedge sponge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then have used my finger to apply yellow the the centers, you may like to dab an orange colour for depth and white for highlight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When my first stencil layer is dry I have then used a small paintbrush to add a second painted layer to petals, start from the outer edge of petal and quickly stroke towards center, paint does not have to go all the way, mainly highlighting the tips of petals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also later on added a shadow float of colour from the center onto the daisy petals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( see finished photo)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used my own hand made leaf stencil for the extra foliage and have chosen a green acrylic paint that will stand out from the background. Of course you can handpaint your leaves, you don't have to use a stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGma8XN9Vhc_8hjpxKyLuAqGYjB59bW-WRmKhIqpLorfm0KHqANe0VltntmVY87ks-sQKBpTjybv1Yfyxmu2DFqf7hE_lH0S9vWfbBHi0G5LoJrIf4K_EDPwFq8jVvwGMj4Qdp-ZKHNkU/s1600/84396175_493984478209202_8676619216855498752_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGma8XN9Vhc_8hjpxKyLuAqGYjB59bW-WRmKhIqpLorfm0KHqANe0VltntmVY87ks-sQKBpTjybv1Yfyxmu2DFqf7hE_lH0S9vWfbBHi0G5LoJrIf4K_EDPwFq8jVvwGMj4Qdp-ZKHNkU/s320/84396175_493984478209202_8676619216855498752_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 6 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a fan brush, speckle thinned white and then brown paint over your project. Avoid getting it on the face though, unless you want freckles!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have chosen a outline leaf stamp to add to the design. I used Versafine black ink pad. I also stamped a little birdie onto the flower. When it is dry go over the bird shape in black acrylic paint and then add white highlights for eyes and wing with a small paintbrush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add your small envelope to the project using matte medium. You can make your own envelope if you don't have a ready made one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a fine tip waterproof black pen to add words to your envelope, mine says "Sending my Love". Use this same black pen to outline all your daisy petals and leaves, add some detail dots and squiggles to the centers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our last finishing touches are to add real postage stamps to our project, float a little yellow colour around girls face to highlight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the black pencil to add some shade around the envelope, stamps and birdie. If you are creating in a journal, you may like to darken the edges by running a brown ink pad around them, if using a canvas, paint in the edges with a brown paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose a black and white drawing and tear around image and adhere to A3 watercolour paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paint in flesh colours using watercolour felt pens and / or flesh colour Gelatos, using your aqua pen for blending. Add black and white pen highlights to hair.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDyFdQiqOCqck2bTz5rl2Bp7nOK3NAAoom4FdP5q77kdWpyX1cddmnYtPSZWkVfqybMXWg9oERZ-d2b3Puttdw3FNv5Kaccb_sHgwrLmS88OpNs5MPgrZdO7502bIa4iPHwzBbtxWuBPS/s1600/Serenity+step+gesso.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1179" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDyFdQiqOCqck2bTz5rl2Bp7nOK3NAAoom4FdP5q77kdWpyX1cddmnYtPSZWkVfqybMXWg9oERZ-d2b3Puttdw3FNv5Kaccb_sHgwrLmS88OpNs5MPgrZdO7502bIa4iPHwzBbtxWuBPS/s320/Serenity+step+gesso.jpg" width="235" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Adhere collage papers to background. I have used old dictionary papers and paper napkins. Apply a light coat of gesso over the papers to tone down the patterns and print.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3 and 4</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add stencilled patterns into your background over the top of your papers. Choose the colours you like. Spritz the papers with a light spray of Brown or Sepia coloured Ink. ( I have used Walnut Ink Crystals added to distilled water to make my own spray)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had pre - printed some rose stamps in black archival ink onto Gelli Printed papers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut out around your rose stamp and position onto your collage. Glue with a matt medium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a filbert brush in Deco art Avocado Acrylic paint , paint in leaves around the roses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGoFUA3LMSGekpLvJMo5fcLJjQ9Fn7RLwpNPY0KCkZzrhEbkUwL5DX8P-IIMuN4jy2pflavRUFz1PR2bh3CmkHYwBjt-SL1zmvpp9KaUpta11FtITh8gv54yZ8pehu5wFGDMu8328teFV/s1600/serenitymixed+media.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1168" data-original-width="1600" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGoFUA3LMSGekpLvJMo5fcLJjQ9Fn7RLwpNPY0KCkZzrhEbkUwL5DX8P-IIMuN4jy2pflavRUFz1PR2bh3CmkHYwBjt-SL1zmvpp9KaUpta11FtITh8gv54yZ8pehu5wFGDMu8328teFV/s400/serenitymixed+media.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finishing your collage by hot gluing an assemblage of embroidered flowers and leaves onto your work. Use a brown waterproof pen to outline the leaves. Add some pink acrylic paint to shadow areas in the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose a stencil to add modelling paste texture to your background. Cut out your words from printed paper and glue into position, outline the paper in the brown pen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1 and 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crumple white tissue paper in your hands, then spread out to size of your canvas and adhere. This will automatically give you texture, make sure there is matt medium (glue) on top of your tissue layer as well as underneath. Dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose your acrylic paint colours and use a sponge to blend over the textured canvas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue some transparent paper to background. Use a stencil for the vase and flowers. I have used a stencil by Donna Downey. Use white Gesso for flowers and modelling paste for vase. Using your palette knife or scraper, scrape a little modelling paste onto background here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGkBtXGtSZ-IdnKZVUmJxJA4pMz660TEzOVctmUejVH7LOeVqfw90SKWFOvfDrKh-Aq_LUVRBWWDl2BVcCm2hyphenhyphenkQTuAFfFh0SVkpZFv_mU3p7nYQsoQ1y5NQxmeQb7hs4l_FfT0UppKY2W/s1600/DSCF0319.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGkBtXGtSZ-IdnKZVUmJxJA4pMz660TEzOVctmUejVH7LOeVqfw90SKWFOvfDrKh-Aq_LUVRBWWDl2BVcCm2hyphenhyphenkQTuAFfFh0SVkpZFv_mU3p7nYQsoQ1y5NQxmeQb7hs4l_FfT0UppKY2W/s320/DSCF0319.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using your scraper add a line to your background, scraping towards the bottom of canvas in a few places. Block in your flower shapes in desired colours. Fill in your vase with white gesso, adding green stems to flower bouquet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV9YRhttJtH0-CHVetA7ookCaBgluZggyEMf7G0SDsUhjTfmkTmgcB3yLonOFepHe98KwJGUr-vOAyjxeMiyXn6P-QPXhgXUBHPpZJ0nEb8TFAaFNMJdbsEnuuTYlOBYUAdpSxA4fa98KQ/s1600/DSCF0320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV9YRhttJtH0-CHVetA7ookCaBgluZggyEMf7G0SDsUhjTfmkTmgcB3yLonOFepHe98KwJGUr-vOAyjxeMiyXn6P-QPXhgXUBHPpZJ0nEb8TFAaFNMJdbsEnuuTYlOBYUAdpSxA4fa98KQ/s320/DSCF0320.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add leaves using a filbert brush and add white acrylic paint to flowers using the edge of the filbert or angle brush for petals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a darker colour for flower centers. Use a liner brush to add white details to vase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPab32nVdhlLMLhlkwYVO7phsoxsLlB3s6jLl4QpGMt4qgX0-YU4K8HyM2ea5qa_IShK9_T9plaINBop5_g76mudYKveMvaUOoz4YJSJAkuk1fa_uQHpHcUtgm3gyWEhCbDiy5vOvPiU2K/s1600/DSCF0325+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1584" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPab32nVdhlLMLhlkwYVO7phsoxsLlB3s6jLl4QpGMt4qgX0-YU4K8HyM2ea5qa_IShK9_T9plaINBop5_g76mudYKveMvaUOoz4YJSJAkuk1fa_uQHpHcUtgm3gyWEhCbDiy5vOvPiU2K/s320/DSCF0325+%25282%2529.JPG" width="316" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 6</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a Tim Holtz floral stencil add Modelling paste through the stencil for added dimension. Stencil the word "she" using Paynes Grey acrylic colour and adhering scrapbooking stickers to make up other wording. With a small makeup sponge add Burnt Umber to edges of canvas to give an antiqued effect, also paint the canvas edges in this colour. Add a coat of matt sealer to protect your work.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 1</strong>. Background. One side of the double page spread take a piece of acrylic lace, then swipe through some texture paste with a palette knife for a great stenciled pattern!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other page, use the white backing paper from a paper napkin, crumple it and then spread over the page, glue down with matte medium, creases and all! Allow to Dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 2.</strong> Add a vintage antiqued background colour. I have used #Decoartvintageeffectswash</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used all of these 3 colours in different parts of my page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint on the colour, leave maybe 30 seconds, use a paper towel to remove excess paint, creating a vintage look, if you want to remove more colour , next use a baby wipe. I love this product!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghAF3gPl7hv_yMD0bA8HgSWhUtAqeJeDISZzy8wUwW-wIDaY2aZGk-iAXoihoHYQEtMBNJPJN8USGmr2rWw_j0uIYJWjFnucGKvrdNU7zyQlGKEi_N7Cpim9ZxMN9m-TPKtJJiHa-EBCAo/s1600/better+things+ahead+step+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1133" data-original-width="1600" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghAF3gPl7hv_yMD0bA8HgSWhUtAqeJeDISZzy8wUwW-wIDaY2aZGk-iAXoihoHYQEtMBNJPJN8USGmr2rWw_j0uIYJWjFnucGKvrdNU7zyQlGKEi_N7Cpim9ZxMN9m-TPKtJJiHa-EBCAo/s400/better+things+ahead+step+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 3</strong>. Stamp the images you want to use in your collage on lunch wrap paper using an Archival Ink Pad. I am sure most have a collection of stamps that will work fro this project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also used some images from Tim Holtz Botanicals Paper and some flowers from a Stamperia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collage your paper pieces and adhere them to your page with matte medium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can fussy cut some images and tear around others, overlap and just be creative!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgy3iOI6PoLYlnaVEr9TLVIxrtEZA22uCn3eWioyGjaVdbPFBFL4b-XUiL8Aek5WehQ8DzChGs1FSxQKe5Gfwu1w7jAP-o-tISYeWYnDUVqlpuhyphenhyphenli-26rqAm99sw8ez9V7gm5I7oMCJGY/s1600/better+things+ahead+step+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1115" data-original-width="1600" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgy3iOI6PoLYlnaVEr9TLVIxrtEZA22uCn3eWioyGjaVdbPFBFL4b-XUiL8Aek5WehQ8DzChGs1FSxQKe5Gfwu1w7jAP-o-tISYeWYnDUVqlpuhyphenhyphenli-26rqAm99sw8ez9V7gm5I7oMCJGY/s400/better+things+ahead+step+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 4.</strong> I have now added a stencil detail to the background and in amongst the collage pieces, I chose a Decoart Gold Metallic acrylic paint for this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
. At this point I also went around my page edges with Tim Holts Distress Ink in "Vintage Photo", you can also smudge a little of this over your papers to take away the 'white' look, it helps fade the images into the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmuXX4eHdjh2u6ibGtSpcSgwZTWLDNhvJMDuhsPUbDwN58ASuk7ydPbsBxG5lktxx73zgyIrRBcONHIOcXJm5tPXqhI-F944UavA9VIfeGFHqA2WKxHLxKcwdF2mQuZS7rgMKlnsx5k-_/s1600/better+things+ahead+step+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="1600" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmuXX4eHdjh2u6ibGtSpcSgwZTWLDNhvJMDuhsPUbDwN58ASuk7ydPbsBxG5lktxx73zgyIrRBcONHIOcXJm5tPXqhI-F944UavA9VIfeGFHqA2WKxHLxKcwdF2mQuZS7rgMKlnsx5k-_/s400/better+things+ahead+step+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 5</strong>.Nearly Finished! I have stamped some leaf images straight onto the paper around my collage. Using a fan brush I have speckled lightly over the project with thinned white paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now add a little Tim Holtz Distressed Crayon in Black around your girls hair, rub your finger over the crayon to smudge it out and create a little shadow around her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I have used a stencil rose of my own design to add white roses to my page. For this I have used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
# decoartcracklepaste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allow to dry naturally for best crackle effects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKAzDosDcPsi-u1ygX_U6ZXX4gcimsI48KWbuGYvnSJK9p6coqGXXcNQ3sGhEwkHgfmUmGMRJII0KYNgMy7sB637twjg_x5bl7zucaGikL1E2suavB9nE6arwVfsf0LZdi8bF2QNVwvJD/s1600/betterthings+ahead+jounal+pages.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikKAzDosDcPsi-u1ygX_U6ZXX4gcimsI48KWbuGYvnSJK9p6coqGXXcNQ3sGhEwkHgfmUmGMRJII0KYNgMy7sB637twjg_x5bl7zucaGikL1E2suavB9nE6arwVfsf0LZdi8bF2QNVwvJD/s640/betterthings+ahead+jounal+pages.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Step 6.</strong> Okay final last details now. Stamp some more ink leaves around your white roses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then chose to add some Decoart crackle paste leaves using a stencil to fill in my page a little more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think she is finished!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Step 1. Using stencils and modelling paste, add your texture to canvas. When dry paint over in a dark colour, I have used burnt Umber. Rub a little Vaseline over the edges and texture, basecoat over the entire canvas with your background colour. I have used #decoartAmericana Décor Chalky Finish in the colour "Lace"</div>

Step 7. Finshing details! Add some top layer texture to edges of canvas with white modelling paste. Choose some words to express the "feeling" of the canvas. I have cut my words into strips and then glued, outlining with an Inktense pencil and smudging a shadow. I have made my own bird embellishments with a silicone matte, and used matte medium to attach. Using a needle tip bottle of white paint I have handwritten some key words around my roses for emphasis! Paint the canvas edge and rub a little of that colour into the corners for depth.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 1. I know it is hard to see in the photo, BUT the first step is to use various stencils to create patterns around the outside of your canvas with Gesso, then brushing some through the middle of canvas. Allow to dry. Then add a few drops of acrylic ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I have used brown, turquoise and pink ink.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 8. To finish design, add a last layer of texture. I have used a small rose stencil and applied Irredescent Paste . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For added Scroll stencil and word stencils , I have used regular white Texture Paste.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love this project, I have used this idea over and over, with results always unique!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 1. Trace and cut a large heart out of a piece of cardboard, then cover it with contact both sides.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Adhere the heart to canvas using double sided tape in a few places.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I have not painted the background of my canvas, you of course can paint it any colour you like!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Choose acrylic paint colours and various stencils to start.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 2. Overlay your different stencil patterns, working around your heart</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I use a dry makeup foam wedge for this type of stenciling.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 3. More layers! Try to use a variety in your work, small patterns in the background and larger patterns for the feature around the heart.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Step 4. Using a palette knife, add some white texture paste through a stencil, I have chosen a scroll style.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Decide what your heart wants to "Say", </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I stenciled these words inside my heart then added the dragonflies in and around the heart for detail.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> To finish I spayed a little blue, then aqua ink around the heart and with my sponge worked the colour into the background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I decide to define my heart by shading some Ultramarine blue around the inside of the heart using an angle brush. Finished!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I am pleased to bring you a new romantic rose canvas design featuring the </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">"Lilac Whisper Collection" from Kaisercraft</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">When I first saw the collection my eye and imagination were drawn to the subtle Moroccan paper and tiny wooden shapes.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I love Moroccan design but wanted to use the soft lilac colours and the imagery of a vintage flowery garden, using the Moroccan shapes like a lattice backdrop.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I hope you enjoy and learn heaps from the process of this creation!</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I will list all supplies at the end. Here are the steps.............</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghsrUlBdCEDaX8pNkvG5qQ8jk8qaZa-qIRVl9TfuLd-JQuNzsu5RmSwrTEdyte2fWd-7uPmx0CDxPsxyr5_jfcSEY4qD3zu2It6UDQf5Dc0bCvvEnLgk6PcgJhIya2vC8nD8ptNdOgqJkA/s1600/moroccan+rose+canvas+steps+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghsrUlBdCEDaX8pNkvG5qQ8jk8qaZa-qIRVl9TfuLd-JQuNzsu5RmSwrTEdyte2fWd-7uPmx0CDxPsxyr5_jfcSEY4qD3zu2It6UDQf5Dc0bCvvEnLgk6PcgJhIya2vC8nD8ptNdOgqJkA/s320/moroccan+rose+canvas+steps+collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1. Using a palette knife spread Gesso over the Moroccan Lattice and Blossom stencils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allow to dry. The Gesso will act as a resist for your next step!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2. Spray KAISERmists over your canvas, spray a little water to activate and allow the inks to run through the stencil designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBvtMo9hxGdCP2PA41nGc8Wz6-LOm-V5St9rkTEj4DuKDVIs7NwF5RYBdrYk5uvVO0XyAai5H5VZV8DmceJlvOb3KitEUY1JC-Zsl-NvyoK7ehqTnvhub67Hnw8QFdSOD8DjvzBSDe05j0/s1600/Moroccan+rose+garden+step+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="1600" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBvtMo9hxGdCP2PA41nGc8Wz6-LOm-V5St9rkTEj4DuKDVIs7NwF5RYBdrYk5uvVO0XyAai5H5VZV8DmceJlvOb3KitEUY1JC-Zsl-NvyoK7ehqTnvhub67Hnw8QFdSOD8DjvzBSDe05j0/s320/Moroccan+rose+garden+step+5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3. Choose a Moroccan shape, cut it out to make a template then cut this shape out of your chosen Kaisercraft papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decide where your main papers will be and draw in circles where your roses will be placed on the canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4. Using a small palette knife, load with texture paste and form your rose shapes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allow to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5. Glue down your paper shapes onto canvas using Kaisercraft Glaze Paste or Modge Podge, make sure you coat the top of your papers as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 6. Spray a little Blackberry KAISERmist onto a palette, using an Aqua brush place this colour into roses for depth. Kaisercraft Gold Gel Pen for centers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a small filbert paintbrush to paint in leaf shapes in Heritage Green, then highlight with Metallic Gold paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used an Inktense Pencil in Indigo Blue to shadow the paper Moroccan shapes with the Aqua brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fill a needle tip squeeze bottle with Kaisercolour in White and outline leaves and Moroccan shapes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Step 7. Finish the detail of your design, I have glued the paper sentiments and butterflies from the Lilac Whisper Collectables to my canvas, outlining them in White. I love this saying from Anne Frank, I have visited her house in Amsterdam, which is now a museum , and just had to use it in this piece!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the Blossom stencil again with Texture Paste to enhance one Moroccan shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Adhere your wooden Moroccan shapes over some of the background lattice pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rub over them with Metallic Gold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could stop here and hang your canvas, but I wanted more of a statement piece, So lets keep adding!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 8. Cut strips of paper to cover the sides of your canvas, use your stencils to add extra patterns to the sides, spay with KAISERmist in Blackberry to enhance the pattern. Glue into place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 9. Using Kaisercraft Corregated Cardboard, cut to size for back of canvas, adhere some of your Moroccan shapes and embellish with pieces from the Lilac Whispers collectables pack. Glue this onto the back of canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 10. I have hot glued a white ceramic rose knob to the top of my canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Intertwine your paper blooms by their wire stems, into a long garland and wrap them around the knob, trailing down your canvas design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MDamfC7-dL0-PRgUCmNfNoo-FZUPdyZ8o0NZifAyS4BAes93oQ_yhWwHe2EDHmbxL5qgu2g1JXJ_-v3J8glo2zRnIkWMOsKfyc7Ez9wtjYGtB9YWhLpJ_qIito8_HOwkZKVTUEN1k6io/s1600/moroccan+rose+garden+canvas+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1181" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MDamfC7-dL0-PRgUCmNfNoo-FZUPdyZ8o0NZifAyS4BAes93oQ_yhWwHe2EDHmbxL5qgu2g1JXJ_-v3J8glo2zRnIkWMOsKfyc7Ez9wtjYGtB9YWhLpJ_qIito8_HOwkZKVTUEN1k6io/s320/moroccan+rose+garden+canvas+3.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I have drilled a small hole into the bottom of my canvas and screwed into place a flat based knob that makes my canvas able to stand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finished Canvas! Able to be displayed anywhere for a full 3D experience.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Using the filbert brush loaded with various colours paint in broad almost abstract strokes for rose petals, picking up Warm White as you go, finish by adding Titanium White highlights to some petals.

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my version of a makeover for Cardboard Folders for the office.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Start with plain folders. I found these at Kmart for $2 each. Bargain!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmwhkp4D24ZUVT4TyTt1dnv4nA707fvLDP8d9gj4atP2q6dDoNkXPirT-A6li4JPQ2dgvx_spJQFZkMdGsSzz4KvQxU3-Hqh8Fz3xDa63YUJkiYfYLuKEea_pwLXdCFBfosPRWMNoJtFD/s1600/DSCF9468_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmwhkp4D24ZUVT4TyTt1dnv4nA707fvLDP8d9gj4atP2q6dDoNkXPirT-A6li4JPQ2dgvx_spJQFZkMdGsSzz4KvQxU3-Hqh8Fz3xDa63YUJkiYfYLuKEea_pwLXdCFBfosPRWMNoJtFD/s320/DSCF9468_Fotor.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue some music paper or other collage paper to the front of folder,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used #Decopage Matte Medium</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choose a stencil and apply design repeatedly over the front and side of folder using Gesso and a makeup sponge. The Gesso will act as a resist for our project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUCwcmPs7x-rTVA0tWzIiAZlRYVOJiIeD-OB9jc8KP871Yl3Zh8337MT8vSTU882dgO3ks0eH76hoE7ulGiLOdXvifovgYvliLhFFibSzRKpcFOeGczwA_189TtLMMXAPQosCnioYOu2z/s1600/DSCF9465_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUCwcmPs7x-rTVA0tWzIiAZlRYVOJiIeD-OB9jc8KP871Yl3Zh8337MT8vSTU882dgO3ks0eH76hoE7ulGiLOdXvifovgYvliLhFFibSzRKpcFOeGczwA_189TtLMMXAPQosCnioYOu2z/s320/DSCF9465_Fotor.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose another stencil and apply texture paste through stencil, leave to dry. I used a Stencil Girl floral mask on this folder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next choose at least three/four spray ink colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used a combination of Dylusion Sprays and Kaisercraft Sprays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9rFJsE3DOhx2wIo1NQrqv_P3MEFTGeFieq4DDJl2QMcnlCQjqvuDsv9G-umoT2LAGOQEdpZUa5PtRIY4vxc-MRKLqB49LTSobaq-qSlGWV8K6S7Y4sa8LAhbPU5ps9CNuPXMcBsaWniC/s1600/DSCF9466_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9rFJsE3DOhx2wIo1NQrqv_P3MEFTGeFieq4DDJl2QMcnlCQjqvuDsv9G-umoT2LAGOQEdpZUa5PtRIY4vxc-MRKLqB49LTSobaq-qSlGWV8K6S7Y4sa8LAhbPU5ps9CNuPXMcBsaWniC/s320/DSCF9466_Fotor.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep spraying over your design in different colours, adding water with a spray bottle, allowing some colours to run into each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep the middle section fairly clear for where your inspirational words will be placed later on.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0I6CVEQHlaG-YERXnmVsP4nu54pryTysYyfzlriuRdjFuqBijsL9Yp-w67zOWklinTabok7OMlLVSxq4TbzFSUqzmPoSlhmhTxMJQALOwB_HBZ9zMistIKbUR7l1N1WaxM4Iqzd_u0krj/s1600/DSCF9467_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0I6CVEQHlaG-YERXnmVsP4nu54pryTysYyfzlriuRdjFuqBijsL9Yp-w67zOWklinTabok7OMlLVSxq4TbzFSUqzmPoSlhmhTxMJQALOwB_HBZ9zMistIKbUR7l1N1WaxM4Iqzd_u0krj/s320/DSCF9467_Fotor.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you wish to lighten the intensity of the colours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just roll over your texture with a roll of paper towel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the ink dries and sinks into the texture the colours will lighten slightly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See what a difference a little spray of yellow can do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0yek_2MKONsoGNyRZ_cwITQtMHuicgYDEUGf4QcCp6F1u8ko9YWOWAZNaGATSNOyj3lRzek5NBYw4zlFg51NQZgdek4112wZxNqm3V2AYBs3txI8hCZ9fTZ62-Xqu0DLcqi6KEmrojpFy/s1600/DSCF9572_Fotor2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0yek_2MKONsoGNyRZ_cwITQtMHuicgYDEUGf4QcCp6F1u8ko9YWOWAZNaGATSNOyj3lRzek5NBYw4zlFg51NQZgdek4112wZxNqm3V2AYBs3txI8hCZ9fTZ62-Xqu0DLcqi6KEmrojpFy/s320/DSCF9572_Fotor2.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish dampen a fan brush, dip it into Titanium White and splatter over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the folder with random dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When completely dry I have added some more texture leaves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using # Decoart Media Crackle Paste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose your saying, print it out and cut and paste into place using the matte medium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have then given the whole folder a coat of matte medium for protection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't stop making these! Great for presents for those organised people in your life or the ones that need a push to get organised!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this folder I chose a different rose stencil, softer spray colours, more water and more white speckles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start with a canvas (20cm x 30 cm) that have been collaged with papers that you love. I have chosen a black and white theme using paper napkins, tissue paper, paper doily and some Tim Holtz idea-ology music paper. I have used #Decoart Decoupage medium to adhere paper to canvas.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a filbert brush with washes of Olive green, Vines and Raindrop ( Jo Sonja Artist Colours) for the leaves. Add rose shadows in Burnt Umber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Load the filbert brush (or angle brush) with your rose colour and Warm White, Paint in the strokes around the Burnt Umber center first, then work outwards for side and bottom petals. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose your printed vintage image, cut out the shape and use the Decopage medium to adhere to canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do the same with your printed paper butterflies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Draw in the butterflies feelers with a Black alcohol ink pen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using fabric stiffening medium adhere the embroidered lace butterfly to the corner of canvas, allow to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Print out your chosen saying, glue onto canvas, when dry outline with a black graphite pencil.Also outline your vintage girl image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a damp brush go around the wording strips and butterfly girl to smudge out the graphite for a shadow effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use an old dampened toothbrush dipped in the rose colours to speckle the canvas lightly by running your thumb over the bristles and flicking the paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use the Decopage Medium or brush on varnish to give the canvas a final protective coat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Sing a Little Louder " Mixed Media Tutorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have created this piece on Canvas 30 x 40 cm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the project would also work on Journal paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1. Collage pieces of old music sheets and paper doilies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use # Decopage Matte Medium </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqoiPY3AMYX_XEFROotiVOTjhuNRzj7qk3ZBNYgXVOhSiMCKBArMYaGRmR1O556CjHty7gr_Z17_qyO0TCQx_Zsom5u5SgrTpnNYkWmyoPkBGYuF2T63D5VggI5JKGELaXcajsAcXzwst/s1600/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+2+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqoiPY3AMYX_XEFROotiVOTjhuNRzj7qk3ZBNYgXVOhSiMCKBArMYaGRmR1O556CjHty7gr_Z17_qyO0TCQx_Zsom5u5SgrTpnNYkWmyoPkBGYuF2T63D5VggI5JKGELaXcajsAcXzwst/s320/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+2+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2 Choose your stencil and sponge the image with Gesso</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQreva2Ovi8A2K9WcHQHJ-fbu5Knpbb7n3V4t0tYrRSPnj7gkT8DShm5pu3fdh1AHhpCPfP7R6cqDL9b4e0Okz0FBYkHON0Z6DVJx9Fb8OKR9UxXxci0xsojI0dKt4qpUi5gWh_LRGeTI/s1600/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+3+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQreva2Ovi8A2K9WcHQHJ-fbu5Knpbb7n3V4t0tYrRSPnj7gkT8DShm5pu3fdh1AHhpCPfP7R6cqDL9b4e0Okz0FBYkHON0Z6DVJx9Fb8OKR9UxXxci0xsojI0dKt4qpUi5gWh_LRGeTI/s320/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+3+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3 Use spray inks over your canvas. I have used Kaisercraft inks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigUIblJR5q_4L1UIBgJEaiZ12OaNiqMcqWQ60XwpOP8yho_PBExVL3qHXoKYEbF-HLfV8idjflkVb_LaOnbzou5c42zNLXXiJLQOihEYcIRo5fHpSGut09y_xnNIROZ5mdSrqQRWeB0-WI/s1600/Sing+a+litle+Louder+canvas+step+4+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigUIblJR5q_4L1UIBgJEaiZ12OaNiqMcqWQ60XwpOP8yho_PBExVL3qHXoKYEbF-HLfV8idjflkVb_LaOnbzou5c42zNLXXiJLQOihEYcIRo5fHpSGut09y_xnNIROZ5mdSrqQRWeB0-WI/s320/Sing+a+litle+Louder+canvas+step+4+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4 Spray with water and let the inks do their thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5B6eamJO9m-HO2fBOpM6WKgQCYmVrZX1UnjD1S44ZDSmWp8ot7aKHGfN9aBdpfznLeZr8vHTyv2tTTQZGWhqzW6loLZAd-pR3Qg_70ps87JwoDDm7kFzaSF3kmXU6uKvQApj_Xtkh3Os/s1600/Sng+a+little+louder+Canvas+step+6+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5B6eamJO9m-HO2fBOpM6WKgQCYmVrZX1UnjD1S44ZDSmWp8ot7aKHGfN9aBdpfznLeZr8vHTyv2tTTQZGWhqzW6loLZAd-pR3Qg_70ps87JwoDDm7kFzaSF3kmXU6uKvQApj_Xtkh3Os/s320/Sng+a+little+louder+Canvas+step+6+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step5 Apply more stencils #Tim Holtz, over your canvas with Texture Paste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTrrpgl2W5rCpK1K2W9JhVvQc2CuSM8qXPItmtfZJOHXExy3vgqX49BzGlZh3ajqDH7jHUm5mnuGmwEMM9KOwArezAJSzAjJ3PzvNFS3YaNDUrHR5T_lxRfviUPiwy5dsXBe4yDwE8tT_/s1600/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+7+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTrrpgl2W5rCpK1K2W9JhVvQc2CuSM8qXPItmtfZJOHXExy3vgqX49BzGlZh3ajqDH7jHUm5mnuGmwEMM9KOwArezAJSzAjJ3PzvNFS3YaNDUrHR5T_lxRfviUPiwy5dsXBe4yDwE8tT_/s320/Sing+a+little+Louder+Canvas+step+7+%2528Medium%2529.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 6 I have used Butterfly stamps by Kaisercraft,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamp out onto lunch wrap paper using Black Stazon ink, cut out and glue onto canvas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choose a paper napkin with flowers, peel off the backing and collage onto your canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaJiRsVRS9JdN2JUtGYgjdDHiVuyIPBewY4-P4sbBEoIz-Ceq-LqIjx2UGFt5vJNsvIBNeIAkTGS5J1PhJDAO-O_1MtDAKrRDC2UB2fbklb0ZEbivDV4JKAbIEe_1q5NUkjiobVVehUhE/s1600/DSCF8354_Fotor+%2528Small%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaJiRsVRS9JdN2JUtGYgjdDHiVuyIPBewY4-P4sbBEoIz-Ceq-LqIjx2UGFt5vJNsvIBNeIAkTGS5J1PhJDAO-O_1MtDAKrRDC2UB2fbklb0ZEbivDV4JKAbIEe_1q5NUkjiobVVehUhE/s320/DSCF8354_Fotor+%2528Small%2529.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 7 Load your filbert paintbrush In Titanium White and highlight the flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint in a few extra leaves using Jade and Titanium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dyrbrush the larger butterfly wings in Titanium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add some music washi tape, pink self-adhesive rhinestones, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever else you want to embellish with. Make it your own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMIZNDWkDM5mS-WkyRKOJpeF46kv_4uwac8hH0zeyzUnpMtC5dnWXYW-RqgtbFmA6KIsq-wgBdP39zpgQph7qTsnP47W2J1W8hMP7RHm-W9JgY057O0kFIfRC1cQ0lWkCrt8oS7wSok4cG/s1600/DSCF8372_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMIZNDWkDM5mS-WkyRKOJpeF46kv_4uwac8hH0zeyzUnpMtC5dnWXYW-RqgtbFmA6KIsq-wgBdP39zpgQph7qTsnP47W2J1W8hMP7RHm-W9JgY057O0kFIfRC1cQ0lWkCrt8oS7wSok4cG/s320/DSCF8372_Fotor.jpg" width="233" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 8 Print out your verse and collage it onto your canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use words that express your personal message.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
