Mixed media canvas with vintage tag


Zeus-and-Zoe-mixed-media-canvas

Hello friends! :) Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas I created for Zeus and Zoe. It was one of those projects that turned out totally different from what I had envisioned in my mind's eye...like most of my projects...*LOL*



I started with a wrapping tissue base then added some lace and trim on my 8x8 canvas. I used some spray mists from Lindy's Gang but the colours were a little too subtle for me so I decided to add texture with a little glass bead gel. And then gold paint...and mediums....[you know about my gold obsession, right? *winks*]




Just when it seemed like all was lost in gold lala land, I remembered this beautiful vintage tag that was in my Zeus and Zoe DT package....



With the tag as my focal point, I added some pearls and blooms and embellishments...and my canvas actually looks pretty! Yay! *High fives all around*

P/s: Just want to share some awesome design team news.:)
