Keeping It Simple: A Mini Canvas and Card.

Hello everyone! 
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. 
Here in Mount Barker, the sun is finally shining and it is a beautiful day. 

I have two projects to share with you today. Firstly, a mini canvas. Secondly, a card. 


This canvas was created on a 4x4 canvas, and is in fact, quite simple to create. It's all about the layers. You start with a large chipboard item as your base, and continue to layer, getting smaller as you reach the top. I have mixed my Imaginarium Designs chipboard with metal pieces, just for a little textural difference.  


The large butterfly colour has been created with two mixed blue glitters - one dark blue, and one dark teal. The smaller butterfly was coloured with Teal Inka-Gold. 


I have used silver Inka-Gold for the word, and platinum Inka-Gold for the doily and bracket mirror (which has been cut in half). 


Here you can clearly see all the different layers. Ive also included some Prima vine branches for added texture and colour, creating more of a visual interest and balance.  


The metallic silver wings have also been covered with silver Inka-Gold. They were originally two different colours.

I've kept my card sweet and simple, with lots of gold, pink and bling. 


I have added extra gold with a gold ribbon, a gold coated Art Deco embellishment, and a spray of Gilded Gold Glimmermist over the flowers. 


I have balanced the design with some pink rhinestones in the corners, and along the art deco embellishment.
