Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #21: Hero Warrior

Hello crafty friends!  Today is my 3 blog post for all the sisters challenges, so sit back and enjoy this new month of craftiness.

This post is for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, as always...Anything Goes.

I colored this image in monochromatic colors based off the Kit and Clowder Mixed Media class.  I love the class image, but wanted to used a different image for the project I had in mind.  Besides, it gives me an excuse to use another Saturated Canary image (Honor) from Krista Smith.

After I colored my image, I tackled the 8x10 canvas (the class uses 5x7).  The project is base off the class, but modify for the size and what I had on hand.  I did order a kit with some of the embellishments used in this canvas, but also used lots of things from my own stash.    The tissue paper position on top was first determined and the I used stencils (yes, I've been gathering stencils to use now), to created texture with molding paste.  Ink pads and paint for the background and embellishments.

One of the paints used was a shiny platinum.  I used it on the background as well as the embellishments and it gives it a beautiful shine and metal look.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
