Anything but a card Challenge 44 Friendship

Its a new month and a new challenge over at Anything But A Card challenge blog. The theme is friendship. After looking through my boxes (yes my craft room isn't unpacked yet) for something else I found a 6x6 canvas that I picked up last year at Goodwill before the move. I took it out thinking I would use it for the challenge.

I started out with taking one of the backings from a napkin, crumpling it up before gluing it down with matte medium. Love all the cool texture. I then gessoed the canvas after the glued dried. Next I originally played with 3 colors of craft paint a patenia, a lemonade, and a light purple. But after all the color was done, I wasn't feeling how it was looking so I gessoed it over again and stuck with the lemonade and the patenia paints. I used a old gift card to scrap the paint on the canvas.

I had a left over piece tape of dry wall tape from a past art journal class. I cut it at different lengths and widths and placed it on the canvas.

I took London Blue Dylusion spray and sprayed with some punchenllia.

I then took the cut grass and fresh lime Dylusions sprays and tried to make some splots. I used an UmWowStudio confetti heats stencil and sprayed Color Shine in Tinsel onto the stencil and them "stamped" the stencil onto the canvas. I didn't get a clean image but liked what I got.  I stamped in black craft paint the line of chevron and the corner bullseye by Viva Las VegaStamps! 

While that was drying, I picked out some wood veneer pieces. the banners are from American Crafts and the arrows are from Studio Callico. I first sprayed them with the Fresh Lime Dylusion spray but I wasn't liking the reults. So after gessoing and more spray then adding white paint I got where I liked it. The Blue ones I just painted. Aftered dried I stamped with the washi background stamps by Viva Las VegaStamps! with black craft paint. 

I glued the pieces down with Helmar 450 Quick dry. I added some drips with Tim Holt's Distress Stains in the Brushed Pewter on the top then sprayed water to help the drips. I decided the wood pieces need something more so I first painted some perelesent Watercolors by Artist Loft in a white. But thought it needed something else so added Some Rock Candy Stickles. Of course I touched them banner and it wasn't dried and it got messed up. so after trying to get it to the same color as the other green pieces I just painted it another green and restamped and re stickled and glued it back on. The quote I found on Pintrest and typed it up and printed it. Glued it on with glue and seal. Then I stamped the 2 women from VLVS! in Black Versafine ink pad. Colored them in Prisma colored pencils, I put foam tape on them and did put Helmar 450 quick dry on the back of the foam tape to make sue it stays on the canvas.
