Gecko Galz Spring Challenge-Altered Canvas

 


This is my entry for the Gecko Galz Spring Altered Canvas challenge

BE BRAVE

Its a 12" x 12" canvas

I fell in love with this gorgeous image on the Artftul Visions digital sheet

Artful Visions

The image spoke to me about being strong, being brave, + being yourself

I used a stencil with texture paste for the background. Painted it grey, then rubbed white matte wax to highlight the designs

I blew the image up, distressed the edges, then added it to the canvas.

Chipboard designs, that I painted + added molten silver to, are on either side of the image

I stenciled the words BE BRAVE over the picture.

Chipboard gates, painted black with silver highlights adorn the top and bottom of the design

The bottom of the canvas has more textured chipboards, taller brick chipboards, that I've painted and decorated

Paper glittered flowers in the corner, with pink + black acrylic beads

3 Chipboard quotes added to the bottom
