Reneabouquets Guest Design: Purple Dream Mixed Media Canvas

I love a dreamy canvas full of soft details and pretty colors.  

I'm so excited to be sharing a couple of special projects on my blog this month! I was so thrilled when I was recently asked by Reneabouquets to be a guest designer and create two projects for her! Today, I'm sharing the first of those two projects, a dreamy purple and mint home decor mixed media canvas that reminds me of something right out of the Secret Garden. 

I began this project by applying 3D gloss gel through a stencil to create some texture. Once that was dry I used to two colors of purple impasto paint to add color to the canvas. I spritzed the paint with water to make it even more fluid then painted it on the canvas using my fingers, creating a bit of a watercolor look. (I have to admit, I really enjoyed the finger painting!) Once the paint was dry, I added some decor wax to highlight the stenciled areas. 

To create a focal point to add all of the Reneabouquets goodies around, I stretched some of the White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace in an 8 inch embroidery hoop, then backed the hoop with some floral printed paper from Prima. I added touches of crackle paste around the embroidery hoop and once dry, glued it to the center of my canvas. 

I then cut some of the Beautiful Board Marquise Elements Laser Cut Chipboard into smaller pieces and added a minty colored embossing glaze to some of the bits. I glued these down onto the canvas and embroidery hoop. 

Next I added plum colored Reneabouquets flowers to my project, tucking some of the Drop Leaf Lace under some to make a wall of vines like effect. This definitely reminds me of a wall in a secret garden overgrown with vines. I also tucked a few more pieces of the chipboard that I left plain for contrast, under the flowers. 

I then added a Printed Beautiful Board Hummingbird to one side of the embroidery hoop. I also added two Glass Wing Double Butterflies as well as a Tiny Treasures dragonfly to my project. To finish it off, I added Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass in dark purple to the flowers and scattered some Fairy Opal Beautiful Beads around the canvas and hoop. 

I hope that you enjoyed this dreamy little home decor piece! I can't wait to share my second guest design with you all later this month!

Happy Crafting,

Adrienne
