It was originally given a coat of white gesso. I added some embossing paste through a couple of stencils and stuck on bits of lace, paper and clay roses, die cuts, a metal bird and butterfly.
Then, I decided it should be black, so it got a couple of coats of black Adirondack. Next came the Copper and Silver gilding wax. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of black card and heat embossed with Copper EP, cut to fit and then some wax was brushed on the edges.
That's all for now, hope you've had a good weekend.

Ooh, that's very cool! Love the gilding over the black and brilliant use of stencilled texture amongst the embellishments - I love those wild flowers.

ReplyDeleteA stunning canvas Avril. I'll admit I have always shied away from going a black based one for fear of losing all the detail and your inspiration has persuaded me to have a go so thank you.
