Stamperia unicorn mixed media canvas

Hello my creative friends, I have been watching some videos on Stamperia You tube channel, where they apply rice paper, paints, stencils and stamps, to create a background, then cut through the canvas to lift it up giving a 3d look.

I decided to have a go using a unicorn rice paper and a flower and butterfly rice paper.

Unfortunately it didnt quite go to plan and when I cut through the canvas the paint and rice paper started to lift and seperate from the canvas. The butterflies and wings on the unicorn looked ok, but the flowers looked dreadful, so I used some mulberry and foam flowers to disguise the messy canvas.

Here's the result...

I will have to have another watch of the videos to see where I went wrong and have another go.

The sky's the limit...

I've created a new double page in my black journal.

I painted over with a quick coat of gesso, followed by a few splashes of Indigo blu paint in shades of brown and orange and a little green. Then sponged some metallic paint through a stencil.

Next I stamped some clocks, cogs and various backgrounds stamps all over in black, yellow and green. 

To create lots of layers I diecut some cogs out of brown and yellow card and rubbed in 2 shades of gold gilding wax and glued them around the edges of both pages.

I stamped some steampunk animals from crafters companion and coloured one with watercolours.

And the other with spectrum illustrator pens. Once stuck on the page I went round each image with dark graphite pencil and smudged it in.

Then I used a white pen to draw round all the cogs and to apply a bit of highlight to the page.

It was finished off with a stamped sentiment.

So there you are, I hope you like it.
