Today I am sharing a mixed media canvas that I have created using some awesome stamps by Carabelle Studios. I found out about this French company when I was in Paris visiting Version-Scrap and I totally fell in love with their stamps. Their designs are amazing and perfect for your mixed media projects. So here is what I created
A canvas with many 3 dimensional elements as you can see in the close-up photos below
For coloring I have used the new metalique acrylic paints by Prima and they gave a gorgeous shine on my project
I used many mixed media techniques and I had so much fun creating both the background and the foreground with all those elements popping out of the canvas.
Also to add even more texture I used micro beads by Prima in two different colors for my sky and the ground.
this canvas is going to decorate my craft room and I hope you will enjoy the process as much as I did!
You can watch the video below or at my YouTube channel
Supplies:
Carabelle Studio products are easy to find in Europe but they are also available to the other side of the pond through SimonSaysStamp. If you can not find a specific stamp in the SSS shop just ask them and they will get it for you! Below I am sharing both links for the US and Europe.
Hi Vicky,
I love you work. Thanks so much for sharing.
What kind of paper did you say you could make a clear stamp that would disappear after gel medium dries?
Thank you, Tresa
Lovely! So inspiring. I especially love how you created the tree trunk. Time to go try this out!
Thanks!
Delightful project! I too like how you did the tree trunk. Also It is really nice seeing products displayed in Europe as well as CHA in the USA.
Thanks Vicky for the tutorial!
Really pretty canvas. Love the dimensional parts! Looking forward to the next set of 10 cards for the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. It looks like a great one. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!!
OMGoodness this is beautiful. thank you for sharing
Oh wow Vicki! What a great canvas! You’ve blown me away with all the things you did on it. What a ginormous stamp! I had no idea such things existed or if I had encountered it, I would have no idea what to do with it. Once again, you’re amazing! Love the way you treated the little girl stamp. So darling!
