Graphic 45 2019 Brand Ambassador Audition

Hello  everyone!!

with so much excitement i present you my projects for "Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador Audition 2019".I am a big fan of Graphic 45 and it would be a great opportunity and honor to represent one of the best paper crafting brand in the world.

I love creating all kind of projects like cards,albums,layouts ,mixed media and 3d/altered projects.For today's project i made a mixed media canvas as i feel its one of my major strength.I have used gorgeous new "Bloom" and "Garden goddess" collections for my project.

 

Lets see the procedure to create this canvas:

Prepare the canvas with three coats of heavy white gesso,dry in-between each coats.Once the canvas is ready apply glitter paste or modelling paste through stencils.

 

Spray water over the canvas and add water colors in shades of pink and green.I kept the colors very light as i wanted a soft background for the bold colors i am going to use in my composition

 

Fussy cut flowers from "Bloom" and "garden goddess" collection.Also cut some borders and labels from the paper collection

 

Stamp some leaf designs on vellum with versamark ink and heat emboss it with white embossing powder and fussy cut them.The vellum designs will be helpful to create layers with out much dimension and also gives a  soft look to your projects and most importantly does not cover the other elements as its transparent.Also die cut some leaves and flourishes with pattern papers.

To create the basic composition and layers,cut papers in few sizes. Instead of gluing each layer,group them into 2-3 layers,pin it together so that i will be easy to tuck in embellishments.Add chipboard at the back leaving half an inch all the sides.

 

 Now create the composition using all the elements we prepared.This is how the first layer looks.I also added few clay embellishments to add dimension

 

Once the basic composition is ready,add layers of flowers,fussy cut elements,chipboard embellishment etc as you like.Once all the elements has been glued,add more colors around the composition to add some depth.

 

Now soften the edge of the colors using white gesso so that the color transition is smooth.Also mix some gesso with water and splash it randomly all over the embellishments except the photo.

Here is some more close ups,for finishing touch i added small beads,art stones and glitters using gel medium

 

I have also created another cute little project,a mini shadow box featuring one of my most favorite secret garden collection.The shadow box measure 6 by 6 inches ,i love fussy cutting and this whole project is made with fussy cut elements from secret garden collection and few flowers from sweet sentiment collection.I added a lot of dimension between each elements using chipboards and foam tapes.

"Thank you Graphic 45 team for this amazing opportunity and taking time to review my projects".

Thank you for stopping by.
Happy crafting,

The positive vibes hop - Mixed media canvas - Kavitha

Hi! I'm Kavitha.

Welcome to The Positive Vibes Hop. The purpose of our blog hop is to start the new year on a colourful & creative note, spread positivity & good vibes.We hope you'll enjoy the mixed media projects & pictorials we have prepared.

My project : Mixed media canvas

 Since its all about beginning the New year with a positive note i decided to make a very airy and soft canvas with pastel shades and kept the quote as the focal point. 

My quote says " Start where you are,use what you have,do what you can, and enjoy the journey".Thats one thing i want to try this year,enjoy the journey and not to worry about the destination because the process is equally beautiful as the end result.,this goes for both art as well as life:)

This canvas will be in my art room as a reminder to me to be here and now and enjoy

the process,so i added all my favorite stuffs like flowers,butterflies,

pastel shades and textures.

 

I also have a step by step process to make this canvas:

 Paint the canvas with two coats of white gesso.Once it dried apply paper texture paste through stencil

 

 Spray some water and add Lindys spray -Plumeria pink with brush,using heat gun dry the colors and dab of the excess with tissue paper.

 Next add art alchemy paint - Teal pink with brush,spray some water and repeat the steps mentioned above

 

Apply some crackle paste with palette knife randomly in few places and allow it to dry until you get desired cracks

 

Stamp randomly using texture stamp and archival inks.  

 Keeping a resin frame as focal point  i created my composition around it using layers of die cuts,fussy cut elements and flowers

 

Add little more colors around the composition as needed.

 

Final step is to add some art stones and glitters using soft gloss gel.Randomly apply gel medium over the flowers and few places and sprinkle art stones and glitters over them and tap of the excess.

 Here is some more close-ups for you
