Michael’s stores is having a trip to Paris giveaway on their Face Book page. You can read more about the contest at Michaels.com. Today is the last day to enter!
I’ve been working on this mixed media project for three weeks. I took it to my acrylic painting class and worked on it while my teacher gave me pointers. I googled Paris in the Spring time and this is the picture I chose. It’s a picture of the Eiffel tower taken from a park filled with flowers and trees.
It’s a 16×18 canvas. I used acrylic paints for the background as well as tissue paper, stencils, stamps, and molding paste. For the inside of the tower I used speckled molding paste and black acrylic paint. For the metal around the tower I used a bronze acrylic paint marker by Sakura and bronze acrylic paint. I also added different color stickles to the flowers and trees just to give it a bit of “shine” all around.
I may not win anything, but if I don’t enter, I’ll never know what the judges think!
The first picture I took inside and I like the way the tower shimmers so I entered that one into the giveaway. The second picture was outside next to my lavender bush.
Thanks for stopping by! Let me know what you think!
Happy crafting,
Carmen
