Magical Fairy Altered Canvas w/ Brandy

1 Reply

Have you seen the gorgeous Moodboard Challenge we have going on? I was inspired to make something pretty!

I used my LUNA Stencil for my base texture….it fit with the moon the fairy is sitting on great! Then I tried a new effect by adding more texture with my mud and Twilight Stencil and then putting glitter over the top while it was still wet.

The SKY and Barbie Colorations Sprays fit perfectly with the moodboard colors!

Splatters of watered down COTTON Velvet Paint tied my background together so nicely!!

I love how it turned out!

Here is a process/tutorial video to see just how I created it!

Head on over and stock up on your Art Anthology goodness at our ONLINE STORE!!

Here’s list of the Art Anthology products used:
PANACHE Minx

FLY mini-book, by Marleen

5 Replies

Hello everyone, Marleen here with a mini-book tutorial for you.

My inspiration came from everywhere!! Do you remember my earlier post about the lace book cover I made?? Well I promised you to show the inside later on. Guess what, the cover was too small for all those pages.
So I made a bigger cover now and finished the inside pages!

I used many many Art Anthology stencils you can find them all HERE.

Here you can see the video tutorial:

Hope it inspired you all 😉

Curious Cat Canvas

Hello everyone! Today I am hoping to inspire you with this fun canvas project using the *New* Shine Dimensional paints from Art Anthology! Below I have included a Snapguide tutorial with step by step instructions on how this was created.

The Shine Dimensional paints are vibrant and smooth. When dry they are semi-translucent and have a beautiful hi-gloss finish. They are available in 11 beautiful colors.

For this project I chose to use them to create a water colored effect as my background. They react very well when mixed with water this way as seen below.


For my canvas, I used the following products from Art Anthology:
Shine Dimensional paints
Ocean  Royal 

Minx Shimmering Inks
Panache  Stargazer 

Rose Swirl Stencil
