Mixed Media Floral Canvas

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a mixed media floral canvas.

I used the Mini Jar Pallet, thinking it would make an amazing jar to hold an assortment of  flowers.

I painted the jar with gold metallic paint..

Placomg the 6" Shattered Glass Stencil on the jar, I painted with silver metallic paint.

Using both the 6" Wood Grain Stencil and the 6" Shiplap Stencil, I created texture on a canvas board with modeling paste.

Because I wanted to add color to the board, I painted the entire panel with white gesso.

Once the panel was dry, I spritzed assorted colors of ink on the panel, drying the inks before adding additional colors.  Then I wrapped the panel with twine for more dimension. 
Placing the jar off-center, I placed flowers and leaves, moving them until the result was pleasing.

I tied some babies breathe to the twine and inserted some amongst the flowers for more depth and dimension.

A sentiment was stamped on a tag which was inserted under the twine.  Butterflies were punched from Rinea Foiled Papers and placed on the tag.

Additional butterflies were added amongst the flowers.

Now this fun mixed media floral canvas adorns my craft room.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph
