FOLLOW YOUR BLISS

Hi, There!

I finished this mixed media canvas today and it was a joy to make but to finish it today was good.  Since it has such a feeling of spring to it, I was happy and in my "bliss" as I put the last finishing touches on it because it was snowing outside here!!!  Getting lost in my art work is where I find my bliss.  So here is a photo of my finished canvas and the details of what I did follows.  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit and have a wonderful day.  Till next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

I would like to enter this Mixed Media Canvas in the following challenges:
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge - March Challenge #22 - Photo Color Inspiration

More Than Words Challenge with a Twist - March "Bliss" plus Gesso

Details of my canvas:

For the background, I covered the canvas entirely in patterned tissue paper and crinkled it for texture here and there.  Then used Gelatos to color in the background - Banana, Aqua, Watermelon, Blood Orange, Raspberry.  I used a bubble stencil with a baby wipe to remove color here and there.  Applied paper doilies in the opposite corners.  Stamped in black some text and used white gesso for a text stencil. Once the gesso dried, to soften the look, I went over the text with more Gelato colors.  

Elements are wooden words and a bicycle coated in black gesso and sprayed with color shine.  White fabric flowers sprayed with color shine.  Added pearls, some Flower Soft in the bicycle basket.  MS Butterfly punch was used on some vellum and colored with Copic markers and applied them here and there and they have touches of Star Dust.
