Faith and Pentart Lasur Indoor/Outdoor with Marilyn

Hello everyone! It's Fine Art day, one of my favorite design team assignments to do and I come today with a canvas that I made with the beautiful Faith collection, Bo Bunny and Pentart products.

I love the messages, design and colors in this collection 

and the Faith paper was my inspiration to create this canvas. Sometimes we have difficult situations in our life but not matter how hard it is or how dark it looks, we need to be strong. to have faith, to be the Light and it was my inspiration...

"Be The Light Canvas"

I started applying a coat of Penart white gesso over all the canvas. While the canvas is drying, I'm going to cut out images from the papers like the bulb, butterflies and the girl.  Then I painted the half top of the canvas in similar colors to the Faith paper and for that I mixed the Pentart Creamy Acrylic- Baroque Gold & Trumpet Flower and for the bottom of the canvas I mixed the Nimbus and Blue colors.

I create textures and a design around the bulb image with cheesecloth, the stickable Lots of Love stencil and gesso.

I also added textures on the  bottom sides of the canvas with the same stencil and the Pentart Lansur Gel in country green color. I painted one flower from the Harvest Orange Dahlia package with orange paint and put on the girl's hair.

I apply Black Crackle paste by Bo Bunny on the edges of my canvas, I wanted to see the different colors through the crackle effect.

You can see here the crackle effect that are in all the borders and it's hard to see on the photos. I stamped some words with the Be The Light Stamp on a blue paper from the same collection.

I used markers to paint her face and waterproof pen to enhance her eyes and lashes. I adhered all the images with gel medium.  Finally, I added white paint splatters over all the canvas..

Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today to share my layout, 3 different ways.

The 2nd and 3rd layouts are just degrees of the first page. I added more and more detail to each subsequent version.

Here's each page individually.

I used black gesso and one of our stickable stencils, along with some stamps.  I also used the crackle mediums from Pentart, along with some acrylic paint on the background.

On the 2nd version I added some more noteworthy pieces and some stickers.

On the final version, I added even more stamping, some extra bits and pieces and distress ink splashing to finish.

Here are some close-ups of the final version.

I used the Pentart Dekor varnishes on the wood pieces and then emphasized the cracks with some paint.

I love this photo of my brother.  We as South Africans "braai" rather than "barbeque" and when he was out here last year, he was about to braai these huge t-bones. As I took the photo, he gave me the biggest and cheekiest smile ever.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  We hope to see you back tomorrow.

Have a super day!
