I was walking in a big craft store recently and came across this canvas letter! I thought it would be perfect to add to my mantel decorations for either Fall or Spring! It is huge! It's 15" high! So, I couldn't wait to alter this fantastic find!
I started with some Gel Medium and a brush in order to adhere some tissue papers to the surface. You can certainly stamp images or text on there first instead if you don't have tissue papers.
Once the papers were dry, I added some of the luscious Tropical Gelatos® colors plus a few other colors thrown in for good measure. I just can't get enough Gelatos® colors! I started with Margherita Mix and added Mango, Raspberry,Watermelon and Snow Cone to the surface.
I filled up one of the spritzer bottles, from the kit, with water and spritzed the colors so that they ran together and down the surface. I added some Iced Chia and Iced Coffee Gelatos® colors to the mix too. I wanted some shimmer too. Once dry, I used a Mixed Media Stencil to create some raised areas of texture! I first mixed some of the Iced Coffee with the Pearl Texture Luxe® and put it through a stencil. I made it quite dark with lots of Gelatos® color mixed in.
Then, I added some Gold Texture Luxe® through the same stencil to over lap and add some glamour. Remember to allow the Texture Luxe® to dry completely before layering another layer on or it will smear.
The results are vibrant, luminous and exciting! I love this piece of art that will adorn my mantel throughout the year! This piece could be made with different combinations of colors too!
