Mixed Media Madeleine Canvas

The combing of different elements of our mixed media produced this beautiful canvas where life is indeed, captured.

Life Captured by Agnieszka Bellaidea

I keep several canvases in my studio as decoration but every now and again I use it for my new projects. This can be interesting if you keep part of the old design like I did.

I made a little photo tutorial about it on my blog today if you wish to see step by step process.

I used papers, chipboards, mists, jewels, stamps, stencils, paste  and Pearl Pens - all by BoBunny!

If you noticed my shades of colors mists are lighter then you know from BoBunny. I can give you a little advice - mix a small amount of it with a little of white mist. This way you can enjoy light green or blue.

I use stencils on the beginning of my work but very offten I go back to use them again when I am done putting  down my papers.

With black and white photo I went for bold black stamping and embossing.

You can use Pearlescents in many ways; here you can see I painted over modeling paste, below I made small dots on wooden chipboard.

When fussy cutting elements were ready I used foam tape to give them more 3D look.  Around my canvas you can see washi tape.

All gold and silver shimmering came from gold and silver paste.
