New Beginnings

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to a new challenge for the month of April 2020.

Here is our new moodboard for the month of April. 

Moodboard allows for many interpretation possibilities - let yourself be carried away :) We will be pleased if you write in addition which elements inspired you 

I was inspired by the beautiful blues and sand colour of the moodboard.

I created this canvas using the colours as my inspirational piece .  I called it new beginning because my friend's  baby  is truly a new beginning and blessing to them.

To create my canvas used some of the following products. 

I prepared my canvas using gesso and then I stenciled small squares on to the canvas using Acrylic Mother of Pearl Structure Gel.  I like the pearl shine of this gel.

Using brown mocha Acrylic paint I added more texture using a piece of  drywall tape. 

After I finished adding the base of my canvas I started adding my elements.

I added a window to put my picture of the new baby along with a sentiment, die cut train, ribbon, Judah's name and birth date.  He was born on January 1st, 2020 at 20:20. 

Here are some close ups of the canvas.

Hope you enjoy my piece.  More details can be found on my blog,  In Search of my Creative Side.
