Autumn through a Fisheye Lens

Happy Friday everyone,

I'm sharing a canvas today created using a beautiful napkin i've had for a long time.

Adhered to a round canvas using matte medium I also covered around the edge. 

Stamping a visible image quote onto rice paper, I adhered this also with 

matte medium and edged parts of the canvas with Art stones and beads .

Die cut leaves coloured with Distress Oxide Inks and 

detailed with Alcohol pens embellish and frame the image.

Melted wax was brushed over the leaves and buffed when dry. 

Gently crushing the leaves helps create a more realistic appearance.

Dots of white pen adds blemishes to those leaves with two found alder 

catkins glued amongst them completing my Autumnal round canvas.

I love how the shape of the canvas and curvature of the bench 

helps create the illusion of looking through a fish eye lens.

Who wouldn't wish to sit upon that bench, gather 

your thoughts and admire that Autumn splendour..?

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend what ever your plans.

Creative Hugs & Warm Wishes

Try it on Tuesday ~ Vintage Baked Frame

I was over the moon when I was asked to Guest Designer over at 

Try it on Tuesday this fortnight and with the theme being 

*Vintage* how could I possible resist.

Here is my Vintage* Baked Frame

and those *How to Do's*...

Stamping out a a dragonfly from Visible image I coloured in watercolour pencils.

Using a 11cm x 9 cm Size frame painted in warm tan paint

I placed the frame over the dragonfly inked up the stamp

and matching it up with the image kissing the frame with

the dragonflies delicate wings.

Colour matching the wings using the same watercolours I added 

a hint of vintage rose to the outer edge of the frame.

To add some raised detail to the frame I used Pebeo Cerne Relief 

to draw detail around the inside and outer edge.

When dry Versamark embossing ink was stamped all over 

the frame and bees wax baked Texture sprinkled all over it.

When heated it gives the most delicious colour and effect upon the frame.

With the dragonfly image fitted securely into the frame, co-ordinating glitter glue 

has been dotted across the glass covered wings and those stamped onto the frame.

Four flat back pearls sit neatly in each corner edged also with Cerne Relief.

A touch of gilding wax highlights those scrumptious baked bubbles.

Vintage Frame

I have another of these frames untouched, 

I may just have to decorate it in a similar way so it has a friend..
