Mix Media Canvas Wall Art

Hello, hello!

Over the holiday season I got some (new to me) gloss spray for my mix media projects.  And today I created a mix media canvas wall art.

On a 8 x 10 inch canvas, I first covered it with matte medium and book print.  Then I went on and layered with some paint, did some lifting with stencil, added some gloss spray, and stencil with embossing paste.  Next I added some Round Art washi tape.  At this point I thought I would stamp and die cut a bunch of leaves and flowers for the focal point.  But it didn't work.  So I took out a piece of pretty paper that I've been saving and cut it up and glue to my canvas.  The colors worked well with the background and I am happy how it turned out.  Here's a close up showing some details.

I added some glacier paste on the bird and flower petals.  And stamped in black archival ink one of favorite sentiment from the Altenew Dot Botanical Stamp set:
