 Γεια σας γεια! Είμαι μηνυκή, η Βικη για ένα Σκέτας τώρα. Για τώρα's προϊκή στρατιού μπροσιάμαι πως είμαι χρησιμοποιημένη σχέση 13 Weki, η οποία είναι η γλυξή από Ευρώπη. Είμαι χρησιμοποιημένη στρατιού σε ένας σκέτης κάτω,μαν είμαι χρησιμοποιημένη στρατιού συγκλπθόνσης. Είμαι χρησιμοποιημένης σε τσίκω σκέτης. Ενώ η κήγαια μαζί μου είμαι χρησιμοποιημένης, και then I'm going to create a mosaic background. 13 arts products are available in Europe and in the United States, and you will find the full list of all the supplies that I'm using today with links in both continents down below the description area as well as on my blog. So I'm using a canvas today, I'm going to stick everything down and create a nice background look with all those patterned paper pieces and I'm sticking everything down by using a gel medium by 13 arts. The canvas that I'm working on is a square canvas that is 20 x 20 centimeters or about 8 x 8 inches. So I'm using my heat gun to speed up the drying process and I'm choosing one of those stencils by 13 arts and I finally decided to use a stencil that has a nice text so I will be using the 13 arts modeling paste and you can see how nice and thick the texture is. So I am going to apply some of that paste over the stencil with my spatula and add some texture on my background. When I finish applying the texture I am going to leave the canvas aside to dry and I am going to be working on my focal points. This is a frame by Prima and with a dry brush I am applying a little bit of gesso all over just to prime it for taking up the color that I am going to be adding later on. I am going to use my heat gun to speed up the drying process of gesso and then I am going to apply sprays to color my frame. I decided to go with this pearl gold and the chalk turquoise. So I am going to apply first my blue spray and these sprays are actually water-based inks and you will see that the sprays do not clog and also I really love how the spray the bottle really sprays beautifully. I am making sure that the first layer I have applied is dry and then I can go ahead and spray with my gold paint and you will see that for this project I am keeping my palette limited to only those two colors the chalk turquoise and the old gold and when you are making a mixed media project it is always super easy when you limit your palette you will find that since you have to go back again and again only to the same colors everything is going to come together easily and I am going to show you a few more tips to bring everything together to help the texture of that frame pop even more I am dipping my finger on gesso and I am just tapping only on the raised areas I am also going to add a little bit of gesso on the inside of the frame and I am pretty happy with how my frame looks at this stage so I am going to go ahead and use this metal key from my stash I am going to apply gesso all over it so that I can prepare it for getting some paint on top and again with the same gold spray I am going to color my key To enhance the color even more I am using this paint which is the exact same color as the spray that I had previously so I am applying a little bit of that and now I am going to go ahead and use this pattern paper pad and at the back has those butterflies which I really loved so I am using my scissors to cut them out I am actually going to cut two of those butterflies and I am going to be using only the wings later on and as you can see the butterfly is in blue but it's not the exact same shade as the turquoise blue that I am using on my project so at this stage I am going to use my spray that I've used for the frame and spray all over those wings I am also going to apply a little bit of the gold on top to add some shimmer and I am pretty happy with how my butterflies look at this stage so I am going to try them out and you will see that I am going to stack them one on top of the other to add even more dimension so for now I'm going to cut out this pattern paper that gives a nice wooden background for my frame I'm going to cut it out with scissors to size and here is a tip if you want to bring everything together it's always nice to add some splashes on all your elements using the same color palette that you are using so I am adding some splashes on this background paper and I'm using gold for that and now I'm going to use my gel medium and stick that background on my frame you can use any type of glue to do that but I really like doing that always with gel medium now these are stickers and they are by 30 arts I have chosen one sticker that says magic is everywhere and I'm going to stick it down on my frame the sticker is matte and it blends nicely with the rest of the paper but once I am finished by sticking different elements on top you will see that you won't be able to tell if that was a sticker or if it was actually a sentiment that I have stamped now I have chosen a green pattern paper from the same pattern paper collection and I'm going to enhance the green by using some distress ink and again to bring everything together I am adding gold splashes and now that I have my pattern paper ready I'm going to use a couple of dies and cut out leaves out of it so I will be using my scissor machine to cut them out I will be using the leaves at the end as embellishment for my mixed meteor canvas so now that I have all my elements ready I am going to stick the butterfly at the center of my frame I am using foam squares at the back to add more dimension and I am going to stack one wing on top of the other for even more dimension for the body of the butterfly I am going to use the key I am going to use gel medium to stick the key down but you can use any other kind of white glue as you can see I am adding even more gel medium on top and on different areas of the key as well as around the frame and this is where I am going to add some microbeads I will be using microbeads by Prima in the copper color and I like to stick them down with a brush just because I feel that with the brush I have more control of how many bits I apply and where and although the gel medium looks white at the moment it will dry totally clear and the only thing that you will be able to see are the little beads so now I am adding a little bit of this color or my craft mat I am diluting it with water and I am going to apply that same color on my background if you apply a little bit of your palette here and then it actually brings everything together you can always apply the color with spray directly but I feel like I have more control with the brush and you will see that once this is dry I am going to repeat the same technique with the gold I have added splashes with both my colors and I am happy with how my background is looking so I am going to apply some white glue at the back of my frame and stick it down and once I put the frame on top of my canvas you can see how all is blending nicely just because I have used the two colors both on my canvas and on my frame So now it's time to embellish my canvas a little bit more I'm bringing some paper flowers and I have three different sizes here I always like to buy white flowers just because I can color them in any color that I want to with my sprays and match perfectly the color of my canvas However for this project I am not going to color the flowers I decided to keep them white All I'm doing now is creating a couple of clusters with those flowers making sure that I mix up the sizes of the flowers for added interest and I'm just dipping the flowers in my gel medium as well as the leaves These are the leaves that I have cut out from that patterned paper I am going to create two clusters of flowers one at the top and one on the bottom right corner of my canvas At the end when the gel medium was dry I went back and added tiny little foam squares at the back of those leaves just to make sure that I keep the dimension and they stick out of the canvas And since my flowers are only white to add a little bit of interest and some more detail on them I decided to go with those copper microbeads that I have used on my frame as well So I am adding a little bit of gel medium at the center of the flowers dipping my brush on those microbeads and applying them on top of the flowers So this is going to add a little bit of color on the flowers and at the same time at a beautiful texture Plus it brings everything together since I am using the same elements that I have used inside the frame where the butterfly is on my canvas So you see that I am going to apply not only on the center of the flowers but also around the frame Just a tiny bit here and there If you are wondering where you can get the products that I am using today I am going to add links to everything down below the video in the description area as well as on my blog I am really happy with how my canvas turned out and I really love the color palette So this is going to decorate my craft room And that was the project for today I hope you had fun and got inspired And if you did, don't forget to leave me a comment as well as give me a thumbs up or my youtube channel Here are some close up photos of my canvas today And if you need more inspiration here are two more canvases that I made a while back Thank you all for watching
