Fabric and Canvas at Premium Craft Brands

Good morning my lovelies, oh my goodness its been blowing a gale here all night. I hope you're keeping dry and warm in this awful weather, its perfect weather for crafting though so I guess its not all bad. We've got a new challenge over at Premium Craft Brands PanPastel challenge and its an anything goes theme this week although the DT were challenged to use fabric or canvas so I decided to use both for my project.


I've used an 8x8 canvas that I'd actually started but it looked totally awful so I gave it a coat of Maimeri Gesso, adding texture with a palette knife. Next came a layer of Platinum White Acrylic paint, sprinkled with some Permanent Red Tint and Gold PanPastels. Once that was dry I blended the pans and then set to with Maimeri Light Modelling Paste and the gorgeous flower curl stencil and added a tiny bit more gold PanPastel. I painted the edges of the canvas with Maimeri Gold acrylic paint and then left it to dry 


I used Maimeri Matte Medium to attach the doily and gave it another coat to seal it. The flower was made with layers of fabric and netting coloured with Permanent Red Tint PanPastel, edged with a little Matte Medium and sprinkled with glamour dust. The little rose in the centre was made with Light Modelling Paste in a silicone mould.


I added some pearl swirls to and a die cut butterfly to finish off.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Country View Crafts: painty pleasures
Craftitude: anything goes/love/Valentines
Crafts and Me: photo inspiration
Fussy and Fancy: be my valentine
Natalie and Amy's: love is all around
Wag's'n'Whiskers: bingo (pink, pearls, doily)
Winter Wonderland: no stamping allowed

I'm not venturing far today as I've got loads of projects started so I'm planning a day in my craft room to finish some off (well if I can find anything in there lol)
have a good day and thanks for popping by
