Hi and welcome to the iCraft blog. For this project I used a canvas and an embroidery hoop to showcase my beautiful niece Violet. I began by painting the canvas with iCraft Heavy Gesso Black, and layered it with torn pieces of the iCraft Bloom De Fleur paper collection. I then used iCraft Heavy Gesso White on the hoop as a base coat, followed by iCraft Palm Tree Chalk Paint. It was a little dark, so I painted some white gesso over the top to mute the green.
My niece is very girly and sweet, so I wanted to highlight her with plenty of flowers, but also add a bit of a grungy look as well. I went back to the canvas and inked the edges of all the paper with black ink to tone down the back ground a little. Then I chose a piece of corresponding Bloom De Fleur paper and glued it to the back of the hoop. iCraft Frame i037 was painted in white gesso, then Palm Tree chalk paint, with a little more white gesso on top to tone down the green.
I used double sided tape to mount the picture of my niece, and stuck some muslin down under the iCraft frame. Then I adhered the frame inside the hoop, and added fussy cut flowers from the paper collection.
Using iCraft Heavy Gesso Black, I painted all the iCraft wooden embellishments and waited for them to dry. I then layered the embellishments with various flowers and more fussy cut pieces. I used a die to cut a bow and glued it to the top of the hoop, then glued the hoop to the canvas. I decided to use black ink on the frame, hoop and fussy cut flowers to highlight edges. The canvas I bought came with a tripod stand, so I painted it with iCraft Heavy Gesso Black, then rubbed on some iCraft wax. Then I decided to add iCraft wax to all the black embellishments and frame.
I hope you enjoyed my project. Until next time, take care and thank you for stopping by. These products and many more can be found at tinamarie.com.au. Kerrie xx
