Growing In Unity Day 1

 


Good Morning and Thank you for joining me for my first day of my Growing in Unity week. 

All week long I am using my Unity Stamp Company Vintage Era Background Kit stamps. 

You will notice I do a lot of mixed media.  And alot of things on canvas as well.  I think outside the box sometimes and come up with meat ways to use stamps.  Which you will see later in the week. 

Let's kick this day off with a bright and colorful mixed media canvas.  




I started off by using a brick wall stencil and some whipped spackle to add some texture in my background.  After letting that dry, I started playing with colors using mixed media art spray and Prima Art Alchemy paints.  I wanted to leave it lighter in the middle and darker towards the outside. Almost like the sun was shining thru clouds. 

After letting that dry and I was happy with the colors. I Stamped my image and fussy cut it out.  I also burnt it a little with a lighter to add the burnt look.  I then arranged different embellishments around until I was happy with the arrangement.  

I hope you enjoyed my creation for Day one. Remember to leave a comment every day for a chance to win some Unity!!!  

Have a great day!

Amy

  2. It is fun seeing your mixed media because it is not something I do often. It is probably because I am creative challenged!😂
