Today I am sharing a very heartfelt canvas “Bee Kind”.
I began with a blank white box canvas, which is always daunting.My first step was to use a honeycomb die cut as a stencil and applied texture paste into it. I really should buy a honeycomb stencil as I think I would use it a lot so it would be a good investment. When the paste was dry I painted some light brown acrylic over it.
More waiting time was needed so I heat embossed the bees in black, and coloured them. I added glitter to the wings, and fussy cut them. I use Spectrum Noir clear glitter pens, they are easy to use and give a lovely clear sparkle.
I used my Versamarker pen over the top of each honeycomb piece, and sprinkled clear embossing powder over it.I heated it up to give a glossy drippy honey look !
After a light coating of brown paint over the canvas I used a sponge to dab on some rose and yellow
acrylic colours to the edges. I always spritzed my sponge with water first as it helps the paint to move more easily.
Chipboard Letters would have been good, but of course as always I did not have all of the letters to spell “Kind”. I used thin card letters instead, and painted them rose, and clear embossed. I attached some of the little bees to each letter
The canvas looked a bit bare in places so I stamped a script stamp using the light brown paint. Remembering to wash it immediately afterwards, have you ever tried removing dried acrylic paint from a stamp - I don’t recommend it : )
Thank you so much for visiting I truly appreciate it xx
