Hi Everyone and welcome back to the iCraft Blog. Today I am sharing my version of Mother Nature, which I created on a large round canvas. I wanted to focus most of this project on the gorgeous chalk paints by iCraft. I started by priming the canvas with iCraft Heavy Gesso White. The canvas was already primed, but I decided to prime it again. I cut a large section of iCraft 3042 Decoupage paper and adhered it to the canvas using iCraft Decoupage Glue. Then I sketched a face from the nose down, below the paper.
I waited for everything to dry properly and began painting the face, paying particular attention to the nose and lips. Then I painted the decoupage paper. I gave everything a coat or two of matte spray varnish, in preparation for the next step.
Using the metallic insta transfer sheet number 7004, I followed the directions on the back of the packet and adhered leaves and gold accents to the desired areas. I used the matte varnish to seal the paint so water would not affect what I'd painted.
I chose a heap of flowers in contrasting colours and stuck them onto Mother Nature's headdress, then added wooden embellishment 3042 after painting them with iCraft Midnight Coffee and Aged Bronze Metallic Wax.
I dabbed the flowers lightly with iCraft Metallic Gold Rush Chalk Paint, and the background with iCraft St. James Street and Coconut Milk. Once again I let everything dry and then gave the entire project a couple of coats of matte spray varnish. oila! Finished. This was a big time consuming project, but also a lot of fun.
