Mini Mother's Day Canvases

Each of the canvases uses a different main image, but each also uses a few common tools. Each uses StazOn, Gel Medium (for adhering the paper to the canvases), markers, and each one features Art Anthology's Velvet Dimensional Medium in Persimmon and Mayan Gold.

For the second canvas, I stamped one of the Whimsical Crowns onto pink cardstock, and painted it with the persimmon and Mayan Gold paints. Note that I painted outside of the stamped lines so that when the piece was cut out, every area was painted (trust me, cutting out those little stars on the crown  was NOT for the faint of heart!).
To add some interest to the canvas, I inked the Vintage Music stamp with StazOn and pressed the canvas into the stamp.

One the image was stamped, the edges were painted with Persimmon and the top painted with Mayan Gold. Note that I started to paint persimmon on the canvas, then decided to add stars with the Twilight Stencil using Persimmon and a stencil brush.


After removing the stencil and allowing the paint to dry, I outlined some of the stars with a black marker. To attach the cut-out crown, I used pop-dots to add height.

I popped the image to set it off from the base; before it was popped, the crown was lost on the canvas.

 For the final canvas, the Dogwood Branch  was stamped onto whte cardstock and painted with the Persimmon and Mayan Gold paint. The canvas edges were painted with Persimmon and the center with Mayan Gold.

     
The Dogwood was then cut out, then covered on the back with Gel Medium, then adhered to the prepared canvas.

 

Once adhered, the word Beautiful (from the Beautiful Faces Set) was adhered with Gel Medium to finish the canvas.
