{{{Be sure to scroll down for my Bella-riffic Friday post- Thank you SOOOO much!}}}
Welcome back for our 2nd day of previews for The Greeting Farm's MAY Release! No, that's not your eyes and you don't need to adjust your computer screen. You are DEFINITELY seein' somethin' SPLOTCHY on the Farm!
We are trying something NEW this month...and it's the FIRST 'background' stamp that TGF has ever released. If all goes well, we are hoping to coordinate this set with something SUPER FRESH and NEW coming this summer...so stay TUNED! For now, I introduce you to our "SPLOTCHY BACKGROUND stamp set", which will be released on May 1st along with Hoo Loves You and the stamps we have yet to show you (wink wink ;)
I have been seeing Mixed media ALL over the place and I know it's not 'new' by any means but it's new to me and I'm SO NERVOUS about showing you my first canvas! Here it is, using Splotchy Background and Flutter Anya:
What do you guys think??? I am ITCHING to know...then again, I'm skeered, haha. I used White Gesso to prep my canvas, painted a sky/grass/sun with some acrylic paints, then added the splotchy Background. Then I stamped the image and sentiments onto white tissue paper (stamped with StazOn) and then used Helmar Acid-Free Glue as a decoupage to paint it right onto the canvas. Once it dried, I took a few different acrylic paints and stickles to fill her in and doodled some flowers with a Marvy pigmented Artist pen and some more paint :)
Thanks for stopping by today-I am SO excited about this project and can't wait to do another one! Any tips or suggestions would be fabulous to hear! Make sure you stop by the TGF Blog to see some Splotch-tacular creations by the rest of the DT ;)

Aw, wonderful job being your first time with canvas. It's an impressionist painting yes? :) I would be scared to do that as I have no painting skills whatsoever. I applaud you on getting out of the box Jess! Kudos! :)
Oh this is is so cool! You sure did a fantastic job with your first canva! I gotta try it one of these days! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Oh wow!!! This is awesome!! Guess what I have something funny to tell you.. I coloured Flutterby Anya "ON CANVAS" this past week too... only mine is a really think canvas board and I couldn't work out what to put behind her! LOL! I just LOVE this!!!
Oh and that sentiment is GREAT!! I do want to be a butterfly when I grow up too! hahaha!
(hugs) Hope you are going well Sweet Jess!!
