Something Different-8 x 8 Canvas Papercraft/Mixed Media Project

Evening all! How's your week going so far? Hope its getting off to a good start! All's good here, has a lovely week last week as Ian was off and was Leo's birthday and this week is looking pretty good too:) Sooo..have got something different to show you tonight! For a long while I've wanted to start some different kind of projects but haven't had the time and then this weekend I got cracking!

I primed an 8 x 8 canvas with gesso then painted it all over with adirondack pink acrylic paint. Once dry I added Ranger distress crackle paint in picket fence, inked with worn lipstick then applied perfect pearls all over to make it really shimmer! My image is the gorgeous Diane Duda stamp called 'Believe' available from Funkykits here which I coloured with copics (just for a change!) then applied glossy accents all over. Here's a close-up:~

All the papers are from the yummy Crate Paper Collection in Pink Plum. I've applied tons and tons of Shimmerz to the kraft card stock and the Crate papers, and the flowers and even the lace. If it didn't move it got Shimmerzed! I also added tons of paper roses which once again, they got Shimmerzed!
I made a large lollipop flower out of kraft and the Crate papers, then added some bling to make a pretty centre:~
Also used more of the lush lace from Quixotic Paperie here and the Bazzill jewel templates to add the bling swirls. Here's a side shot:~

I've listed this item on ETSY here if you fancy it hanging on your wall:)

Am also going to enter a couple of challenges with this project:

As you can probably tell I had soooo much fun making this project!

I also have a bit of news, I've left the Sugar Nellie Design Team so I can try some new things and to have a bit more time to make some fun projects for me. Thanks again Karen for the fab opportunity you gave me-I had a fantastic time-and to all the DT girls and Zoe-they're all fab! Am not going anywhere mind you, will be here just the same amount-even more maybe and watch this space for what comes next!

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you leave-they mean a lot and I do try to come visit you back too:)
