Sticky Back Canvas a fun product that I’m getting seriously addicted to. This week I had a little stamping fun with it and used some paints to for a more artistic looking style. This card uses beautiful Hero Arts stamps and Hero Arts is sponsoring the Card Patterns Sketch 67 this week. Isn’t it another great sketch? I love sketch challenges as they get me thinking outside my box. This week play along for a chance to win a Hero Arts stamp set or a chance to be our next Guest Designer.
Creating this card was a bit of an experiment for me. It didn’t quite do what I’d expected but I think the results are pretty anyway.
To create this panel, I stamped the Hero Arts butterfly stamp over the piece of canvas. I wanted to try glittering up the butterflies with stickles and thought the dried Stickles would make a fun resist for the paint. I applies some pink Stickles to the butterflies and allowed them to dry. I then painted over the top with some Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints in Blank Canvas, Dab of Yellow and Dash of Red. The colors were very lightly mixed together to get a mottled background effect. I then wiped the paint off the butterflies. The liquid in the Stickles resisted the paint well but the glitter moved from the butterflies and I ended up with glitter over the entire surface. Not quite the look I was going for but it ended up being really pretty and sparkly over the entire canvas.
Quick Tip: Jet Black Archival Ink by Ranger works fabulously on the Sticky Back Canvas. Heat set for extra staying power.
