These small canvases look so pretty in my kitchen.
I used the inspirational stamp set from Sheena Douglas to paint them.
I am not a painter. I know how to colour a canvas or alter a background, but painting a flower was never in my list of things that I could do.
That's why I am so surprised that I can create my own style of painted flowers using Sheena's painting guides. These are the canvases drying. You might have noticed that my final pieces look extra shiny though.
In order to give them such a glazed appearance I mixed up a batch of Envirotex Lite resin. I am the blog author of Resin Crafts Blog and resin is my favorite art medium.
Here is one of the canvases curing in the sunshine.
The two finished pieces can now be hung in the kitchen and I don't have to worry about water or cooking splatter.
And now I have a give-a-way!

ReplyDeletethank you for inspiring me, I like what you have done and will give it a go. thank you
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of resin to finish off the little canvases. Great idea!
ReplyDeletei had stayed away from the painting stamps because i didn't know how to do the paint strokes. now i see that i don't need to. and adding the resin really makes your lovely little canvases look spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThose canvases look great! I love the shiny resin finish and that they can hang in the kitchen without getting yucky!
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your giveaway. Tulips are my favourite flower!
