You Will Need (12 things)

  • Canvas Board
  • Marabu Art Crayons
  • Rubber Stamps
  • Stazon
  • Creative Medium : Clear
  • Sepp Leafing Flakes
  • Watercolor Paint
  • Seth Apter Rocky Road Embossing Powder
  • Stencil
  • VersaFine Clair

  • Sponge Dauber

Steps (9 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Scribble several colors of Marabu Art Crayon onto the canvas board in an arch pattern.

  2. 2

    Use a sponge dauber to blend the colors together working from lightest to darkest.

  3. 3

    You can work in more color until you are satisfied with the results.

  4. 4

    Position a stencil over the canvas; use a damp cotton ball to remove some of the color. Repeat as desired over the canvas.

  5. 5

    Stamp various design over the canvas with VersaFine Clair inks.

    Spread Creative Medium over areas of the canvas through a stencil. Let the Creative Medium dry until it is tacky then sprinkle Sepp Leafing Flakes over the medium. Use a paintbrush to gently press the flakes onto the Creative Medium then brush off the excess flakes.

  6. 6

    Stamp angel image onto a scrap of white cardstock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Watercolor the image with a combination of regular and mica watercolor paints. Once the image is dry, fussy cut and use foam tape to affix the image to the canvas.

  7. 7

    Stamp butterflies and sentiment again using the Nocturne ink. Color the butterflies as desired, trim and mount on the canvas.

  8. 8

    Rub the edges of the canvas with VersaMark ink; sprinkle Seth Apter's Rocky Road embossing powder over the inked areas and heat until desired consistency* is reached.

    *Note - Seth Apter's Rocky Road embossing powder is very chunky so it can be heated to varying degrees of melt. You can heat it just a little to keep the rough, chunky look or continue to melt it until it creates a thick, smooth layer of embossing. It is totally up to you and the look you want to create.

  9. 9

    Add a hanger to the back of the canvas and enjoy!
