Bling On the Canvas!

Posted by Susie Bentz on May 25th 2016

Susie here today sharing another mixed media canvas featuring Want2Scrap bling!

I started my canvas with an Ultramarine Blue Color Burst watercolor background. The cute little umbrella image is from the Sparkle N Sprinkle Splish Splash stamp set. I heat embossed the image with Black Opaque Embossing Powder.

Next I wanted to try something a little different. I used clear embossing ink and stamped the "Splish Splash" sentiment all over the canvas. I sprinkled Waterscape Semi-Transparent glitter on the canvas and was pleased to find that it stuck to the canvas!

I wish I could tell you my experiment was a success...but I can't. I knew I needed to secure the glitter somehow. First I tried Workable Fixative. It kept the glitter from falling off but was not a permanent solution as you could brush the glitter off. Next I tried Acrylic Sealer Spray and it did not work either. I ended up brushing off as much glitter as I could and then re-stamping and heat embossing with the Platinum Embossing Powder. I heat embossed the sentiment across the bottom of the canvas in Black Opaque Embossing Powder and then I reached for my bling!
