Imagine' - mixed media canvas

Good evening, I would like to share one of my mixed media wall hangings with you.

I started by covering a canvas board with a couple of layers of patterned papers from  the Blissful Cotton pad by Anna marie designs. I distressed and inked the edges before layering them up.  

I found some lovely hessian and lace ribbon in my crafty stash, so added a piece across the middle. 

 I painted some chipboard pieces, a frame and a couple of swirly corners and used them to build up a little arrangement along with some silk and paper flowers.

I made a small heart out of UTEE and added that to the frame. 

Finally I stamped a beautiful sentiment from Inkylicious, tore it out and inked the edges to match the backing papers. After adding a few pearl embellishments, I splattered the whole canvas with white paint, a quick mist of gold glint spray and then lightly rubbed over the edges with gold gilding wax.

So that it could easily be hung up, I used my Cropadile to punch 2 holes and threaded some jute string through them.

Et voila ! Finished !

I hope you like it and perhaps I've inspired you to have a go yourself. If so Please leave me a link to your blog or facebook, in the comments, so I can come and take a look.

I am going to enter it into this months-
