1 - Gather pink and grey patterned papers.
2 - Roughly cut your grey papers. Don't measure. Don't worry. Just cut different shapes and try to cover the canvas. If you have white edges, or even open spaces, that's OK.
3 - Grab some gel medium and paint a coat of it on your canvas. Arrange your papers on it and again brush over with the medium to seal it off.
4 - Cut 12 hearts by hand (no need to make them perfect!) from the pink papers and one from black/white paper. Arrange them and set them aside for later use.
5 - Attach some lovely Amy Tangerine Mixtape on the bottom and paint the edges white with acrylic paint.
6 - I also painted in between the papers white. Once it's dry you can start embellishing your canvas! I used paint, stamps, and ink to make it all lovely.
7 - I've stamped randomly, created some paper flowers with buttons in the center, inked the edges of the canvas to make the white a bit less bright, painted with white acrylic paint around the edges of the hearts, attached the hearts, buttons, and stamped clouds. When everything is dry I defined the details with a black pen around the edges of the hearts, around the stamps, etc.
8 - My title is hand written. I used white cardstock and a black watercolor pencil. I wrote out my title, made shadows, went over it with a small pencil and water, then once dry, I cut it out by hand and attached it with pop dots on the canvas.
9 - There you have it - a lovely canvas! I'm not even a mixed media artist - I just give myself permission to play and that's when I love creating the most!
