Water Boy Canvas


You can do so much with a canvas - you can use rice papers, dies, stencils, acrylic paints, pastes and so much more.

Materials:

White Canvas
Ciao Bella Rice Paper
Sweet Dixie Dream Catcher Die
Sweet Dixie Feather Die
White Card
Dimensional Paste
Blue/Aqua/white Paint
Cadence Magic Bond and Seal Glue
Honeycomb Stencil
Brown/blue distress ink

Method:

  • First of all start off with layering the base of your canvas using your rice papers. Tear them into sections to create the scene at the bottom left. Attach into place using the Bond and Seal Glue
  • Using your metal dies and white card, die cut out some feathers and a dream catcher.
  • Fix the feathers and half a dream catcher along the right hand side of the canvas and then put the rice paper on top to continue the scene as shown.

TOP TIP: by putting objects underneath your rice paper, it enables you to create definition and dimension.
 
  • Using the stencil and dimensional paste create a feature in the top left area. Once dried blend other coloured paints and inks on top.
  • Once the rice paper has completely dried, blend your chosen paints and inks into the scene to create the finished look.
  • Fix the left over half dreamcatcher to the left hand side as shown.
  • To seal your canvas add a thin layer of Magic Bond and Seal to finish.
