I have been lucky enough to be ONE of the new members chosen to join
Creative Inspirations Paint design Team!!!
This is another of those products I knew I wanted to play with-and I am so lucky to be able to.
Today is my first post so I hope I don't disappoint you with my first attempt.
I have a tutorial of sorts to share.Last week I was watching a U-stream video night with Tracy Weinzapfel from Helmar.
She made a heart canvas that set my mind to thinking about using Creative Inspirations Paint.
I started with these four mini canvases.
I started by using Gesso to prime them first. Using a baby wipe to add some colors to cover that white some.
Then I chose some colors I thought would be fun for a heart
Garnet,Rustic Red, and a little Fairy Dust.
Next I needed to pencil in a heart centered between all the canvases. I was pretty pleased with my shape.
Charcoal pencil was used to outline the image
I started by mixing the garnet and rustic red-I added some crackle medium, can't say I am thrilled with the results of this brand.
Note to self: get some real crackle medium!
India Ink and calligraphy pen are very new to me- they worked perfect to write my phrase
I decided to add some Fairy Dust at this time, I wanted a little shine on my heart.
Added a little red ribbon and some flowers and leaves to dress up the corners.

ReplyDeleteI love what you did here, stunning, not sure what type of paint this is, but should be able to add shading while wet, makes me think of fabric painting, did a few canvasses myself and it is so much fun and yes, the crackle meduim can make a big difference. This would look so good against a white wall, hope you hang this.......:))
