Saturday Creations ~ {Journey Stamp Set Canvas}

Hi there!  It's another Saturday Creation at the Precious Remembrance blog featuring this FAB stamp set ~ Journey!

I made the following mixed media canvas for my sweet friend Lisa for her birthday.  Lisa (far right), Pam (center) and I became friends by going to all of the movies that were up for Oscars before the big Academy Award show.  That's why this stamp set was just Perfect for this FUN gift:

I LOVE the film strips that represent the movies (Stamped on vellum and cut out).  I stamped enjoy the journey on green washi tape.

I stenciled the rose and added some additional flowers.

I used my FAV sentiment from the Journey stamp set ~ {a picture} makes every Moment last forever.  I thought this photo of the three of us was so Awesome and I want her to remember how much we treasure our friendship.  (I am REALLY glad we wore outfits that co-ordinated so well together - LOL!)  You can once again see a stenciled rose and the star splatter stamp.

In this last photo you can see the diamonds I stenciled on with fiber paste and the sentiment - smile.smile and the arrow stamp.

Now for some quick photos of my process:

I covered the canvas with tissue and used a gift card to swipe MS pearl paints across it in the three colors I wanted to use.  I chose to make it sheer so you could see the text.

I mod podged the film strips on the canvas.   I have never used mod podge on vellum before and it kinda buckled but I LOVED the texture it added!

I wanted to have a color behind the sentiment to make it POP but I didn't have paper the color I wanted to use so I adhered three strips of washi tape to cardstock and then glued the sentiment (which was stamped onto another piece of cardstock) on top and cut it all out.  

Here's my boo boo and I'm showing you what I did to make it all better!  I tried to stamp the sentiment directly onto the canvas but because of all of the texture, it didn't stamp well.  Oh NO!  Was it ruined???

So then I got the idea to stamp the sentiment onto ripped washi tape and adhere it with mod podge.  I actually like this look better!

Let me know what you think of this canvas.  I just gave it to Lisa and she was thrilled!
Thanks for stopping by!
