HELENA JOHANSSON
Want to make something special and personal for a graduate? A canvas is the perfect gift!
To get you inspired, I have made a canvas using papers from Quick Quotes, the Serendipity collection, together with lots of Petaloo Burlap flowers.
I started by painting the entire canvas with white gesso, and used a stencil with texture paste to get a bit of texture. I then ripped pieces of Quick Quotes paper and glued them in the middle. I have also used chipboard frames from Quick Quotes, painted with white gesso first, and then inked with Quick Quoutes Powder Puff Chalking Ink, colors Caribbean Blue and Plum Crazy. I then cut out a little quote that's suitable for the occasion.
I decorated with Petaloo Burlap blossoms, colors Ivory and Teal. I have also used Spring Berry Clusters, Botanica collection. Finally I added some seashells. Then I used white gesso and a sponge and gave everything a white touch, and used the Quick Quotes Chalking Ink, Caribbean Blue, on the edges of the canvas. I have also dripped some blue and purple mist here and there.
I have glued a Petaloo trim all around the canvas as a finishing touch.
Thank you for stopping by the Petaloo blog today!
xoxo
