Where The Heart Is Challenge #3: Winter Blues

Happy Monday!
Well, it's time for the new challenge for Where the Heart Is Challenge Blog.
Our theme for November will be Winter Blues. 
I love winter, although where I live do not have the season of winter, but i just love this season because it reminds me of Christmas! Yay!



This is my project for this month Challenge, a winter blues mixed media canvas with Lacy Sunshine - Melanie Boo's- The Christmas Star.

 

I colored my image with color pencil, then i cut out my image with the Spellbinders Nestabilities Floral Ovals dies and i distress the border with the Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass. 
To begin my canvas background, the first step i do is put on the color papers and lace with the Golden Gel Medium on the canvas.
Next, I cover the canvas with Gesso before applying any color on top.
Then, i apply my first thin layer of the Distress Ink - Broken China through out the canvas. After it's dry, i tab on the Broken China with Distress Paint around the canvas border. I prefer to tab the color randomly as i wanted the color appear as not smooth so that it creates the layers on the canvas.

After the color is dry, I apply some Golden Glass Beads Gel Medium at the border. 
It help to create the snowy look after it dry. 
Last, i decorate the canvas with the snowflake die cuts and some rhinestone and sequins. 


Here is the closer look for my canvas, hope you like my project today.

    Rebecca, your project is beautiful! I love the monochromatic colour scheme and all the little snowflakes and sequins you added. You did a brilliant job preparing and colouring the canvas to get lots of depth and texture. Beautiful!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
