Decorated Canvas
I made a decorated canvas for the October 2021 Image Challenge on the Gecko Galz Blog.
A free image is displayed on their blog that can be downloaded onto a computer or tablet and printed out as it has to be used as part of a project that is made by each person who wishes to enter the Challenge.
I started with a white blank board canvas that is just under 8 inches square. The background is plain orange that I printed out onto matt photo paper. First I stamped leaves using a black ink pad all over the background, then in sections I used an orange ink pad and a stencil for the dot effect in different areas of the background
A square filigree metal cutting die was used to cut out the black card for behind the image of the owl and then I layered black and orange card stock in different sizes and adhered them all down on the centre of the canvas.
For decoration, I used MDF leaf sprays and flowers and painted those in orange paint to match the project and then adhered those onto two of the corners of the image. I also painted two metal corners with orange paint and adhered those down onto the two remaining corners of the image. The black rhinestones were clear so I coloured them with a black Sharpie pen, these were used for the two metal corners and the centre of the flowers
