So the other day, I was "schooled" by my niece S who told me that I can only buy her dresses in pink or baby blue. Apparently, 5 year olds these days are very picky about their wardrobe choices.
I remember just wearing anything my mum picked out without throwing a tantrum...but I really hated it when my sister and I had to wear identical outfits. Worse for her though...because once she outgrew her outfits, she had to wear my hand-me-downs! *LOL*
Anyway, I've taken to soft and sweet colours of late...like the ones here on this mixed media canvas.
I started with wrapping tissue from packaging and lace from an old bra which I adhered to the canvas with matte gel medium. Then I applied light modeling paste with The Crafter's Workshop stencil to unify the textures. After a coat of white gesso, I went in with some ColourArte Radiant Rain mists.
The pink spray mist nozzle was stuck so I had to unscrew the nozzle and just flicked some of the mist on. But I kind of like the random droplets I got. Besides, I had already picked out my embellishments for the canvas so I had to make it work somehow...*winks*
This is canvas #2 of a three-series set of canvases. I shared the canvas #1 last week.
P/s: Happy weekend friends! :)

Gorgeous! I love your soft colors, and I know Miss S. approves, too! The texture is amazing on here. I really like how the different textures mix on here. Adds so much interest to the background. Gorgeous trims, too. And your cluster is fabulous!
Well, at some point she will having you buy lime green dresses and purple! ;-) That seems to be the progression from pink and blue! It's awesome that she is a diva! ;-) Totally love your little canvases, you always make me happy with your arting when I take a stroll through your blog! Hugs!
So pretty! I wasn't picky about clothes as a child, but I also HATED wearing outfits that matched my sister's. Ugh. But just like you, it was worse for her because she had to wear the hand-me-down also. ;)
Beautiful. Love the embellishments and the pastel colours. TFS
