LIVE- Mixed media canvas with Copic

 Hi everyone.

Today is my last day of my summer inspiration week over at the Copic Marker Norway. This time I created a mixed media canvas using a big Copic colored image as my focal point. I love to play around like this mixing the best of two worlds, Copic coloring and playing around with mixed media. Dont forget to pop over to our Facebook group Copic Norge to share your Copic coloring. 

My canvas is 25*20 cm and my image from Mariola Budek Art Perl in Roses is printed at around 20/21 cm in height. For my background I used Tim Holtz Distress oxide sprays in Speckled egg, Stormy sky and Vintage photo. Next, I stamped randomly around the edges of my canvas with a crackled background stamp from Stamperia and the script stamp with the little post circle stamp saying Oslo from Inkado is a favourite.


Then I added Finnabair modeling paste on a script stencil and I also used Finnabair 3D matt clear on a Prima square stencil to add some subtle different textures and interest to my background. 

I glued on some cheesecloth before gluing down my image backed with thick cardboard to give it some dimension. Then I glued on some Prima flowers and some Finnabair metal leaves. The lightbulb from Tim Holtz with the sentiment "Live" became my title for this canvas, and I just love how it came together at the end. To finish my canvas I glued on some flat back pearls in different sized and splattered with some white gesso.
