Monday Inspiration Post

Hey guys,
Welcome back, This is Creative Designer Archana here, Today I am here to share my inspiration post for our ongoing challenge, So this is what I have created:

Supplies used:
8"x8" Canvas
Cloth tags
MDF coaster
Metal Butterlfy
Glass nuggets
Immix White gesso 
Glass beads texture gel medium
Immix Chroma Burst "Cranberry Kiss", "Coral Reef", "Gamma Black", "Ice Plant", "Bright Carnival Light"
Immix Metallic paint "Ancient Gold"


To create this super simple canvas you don't need lot of supplies, I used few shades of chroma burst, art medium for pasting, mdf coaster and metal butterfly as a focal point, and our newly launched glass beads texture gel medium...

First I pasted cloth tags on to the canvas forming a random composition (Whenever we buy new cloths we get tags with them so instead of throwing them out I used them on canvas and trust me it really adds beauty and dimensional look)

Next I added MDF coaster on to it, but before adding I applied glass bead texture paste on it to give texture and add interest to blank coaster and I also added metal butterfly in center, Next I added glass nuggets on canvas at random places....

Once everything dries completely I covered entire canvas using Immix white gesso and let it dry completely, After that to color the project I used Chroma Burst...

I applied Immix Metallic Paint and then white gesso again using dry brush technique and I finished this canvas by adding Sentiment...

Voilllaaaaa!!!!! our super simple mixed media canvas is ready, I am absolutely in love with this piece, here are few more picture of this canvas :

That's it from my end today, Hope you guys have enjoyed this process, do participate in our ongoing challenge and get a chance to win exciting goodie bag from us, I will be back till then bye-bye, Take care and Happy Crafting

Love
