This is a mixed media canvas that I created for the designer Sheena Douglass. The end result was really beautiful with all of its shiny parts and especially the mermaid whose tail catches the light beautifully. I made it through to the 2nd stage of the recent Design Team Call out for Sheena Douglass and even though I wasn’t picked in the end I still wanted to share with you my makes and how I made my final round canvas featuring stamping, die cuts, stencilling and lots of Pebeo mixed media-ness! The canvas had lots of super shiny elements thanks to the foiling and the Dyna paints. For my samples that were made in the first round please scroll down past the video and past the ingredients list…
