A Year of Tech. Stamping on Pattern Paper

Hello everyone and welcome to Scrapbook Blessings Club Tuesday tutorial. Barbara here. I have been on a sabbatical as I have waited to heal from back surgery. I have missed being creative, but I am back. Today I have a mixed media canvas for you that might look hard, but I promise you it is easy-peasy.

Here is the finished product:

List of supplies

6x6 canvas

Chipboard cross

Black swirls, ready made or cut with a die cutting machine

embossed cardstock that you emboss yourself or embossed wall paper that is white

sheet music

mod podge

450 quick dry adhesive or Beacon zip dry glue

acrylic paint-white and cream

staz on ink- black and brown

Gold gellato stick

black photo corners

heart shaped button

baby wipes

various texture stamps

swirl stamp

bubble wrap

paint brushes

sponge brush

6x6 stencil

gold spray mist

chocolate Art Anthology sorbet paint with glitter

Gold chalk ink

Tear sheet music into medium size pieces and cover canvas with sheet music using mod podge to attach. You may want some of the sheet music to go over the edges and attach it to the sides of the canvas as well.

Let dry completely.

Paint thin layer of cream acrylic paint over sheet music so you can still the print on the sheet music. 

Let dry completely. You may use a heat tool if desired.

Use your chipboard cross as a pattern, trace it on the back of your white embossed cardstock and cut out.

Apply the embossed paper to the chipboard cross with 450 quick dry adhesive.

Use bubble wrap to stamp white acrylic paint randomly over the canvas.

Let dry completely.

Meanwhile paint the embosed side of the cross with Chocolate Art Anthology Sorbet Dimensional Panit with glitter. Paint a thin layer, but be sure to get paint into all the nooks and crannies of the embossed paper.

Let dry completely.

Stamp randomly with various texture stamps and textured items such as shelf liner, bottle caps etc first with brown staz on and then with black staz on.Apply ink unevenly to stamps. Do not use a stamping block use your hand to stamp randomly for a more uneven look..

Using Color Box gold ink, ink the corners of your canvas. Also stamp randomly with texture stamps on your canvas. Use the Color Box gold ink to highlight the raised areas on the embossed paper on your chipboard cross.

Apply a very thin layer of white acrylic paint with a baby wipe to the canvas.

let dry completely.

Using a gold gellato stick apply color randomly over your canvas and blend with a baby wipe. Add more color until you are satisfied with the amount of color.

Place a 6x6 or larger stencil over your dry canvas and spray with gold metallic spray mist. Let dry undisturbed for 10-20 minutes.

Attach heart button to center of cross, the black photo corners to the corners of the canvas, black swirls to the canvas and lastly attach the cross to the canvas over the center of the black swirls. Use 450 quick dry adhesive, Beacon zip dry adhesive or hot glue.

You can make something similar with and chipboard shape you like as your central image, and any colors of gellatos that you like.

I hope you will make something like this for someone for Christmas. They will surely like it!
