Lynne Perella Canvas Board with Metal Flowers inspired by Alison for Paper Artsy

 

 

 

I didn't have very much time this week but I wanted to make something for the Paper Artsy challenge as the lovely Alison (butterfly) has been Guest Designer. She made an amazing house with lots of layers of paint, stencils, and stamping, and I particularly wanted to try the rusted metal flowers. Alison used rusting powder but she also recommended a combination of Blood Orange, Cinnamon, and Brown Shed Frescos so I used these on some metal flowers from a Primark necklace and some leaf charms and photo corners. I added a sprinkling of Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder for the textured aspect of rust, which works well. I did as Alison suggested and painted some of the flowers with Vanilla and then sanded back to the rusty paint.

To save time I wanted to use a substrate I had already prepared. A few weeks ago you may remember I was transferring Thorndon Hall papers onto canvas using Fresco Satin Glaze so I used one of these. I wanted to use the new Lynne Perella stamps I had chosen from winning the draw last week. Thank you Leandra! I painted the lady with Frescos and then added a feather from the same set, LP 007. Such a gorgeous set!

I am entering this week's challenge which is here.
