Lynne Forsythe here sharing with you my creation using
Silk Acrylic Glaze and May Arts Ribbons.
I began by trimming the May Arts Floral Sheer Ribbon,
close to the flowers.
I then, colored each of the May Arts Floral Sheer Ribbon flowers
with 3 different Silk Acrylic Glaze colors.
(see product list below)
I spritzed the ribbon with water,
getting it very wet,
then applied the Silks to the flowers
and watched the MAGIC BEGIN!
While the ribbon was still wet, I layed it on a natural canvas
and let the Silks bleed into the canvas.
OH THE LOVE!!
I then used a piece of White 1.25" Silk Ribbon,
spritz it heavily with water and
painted on
Cinnamon Silks Acrylic Glaze
and
Nutmeg Silks Acrylic Glaze.
I wrapped the colored ribbon around opposite ends of the canvas
and tied a loop bow!
I coverd a chipboard corner with Viva Colour ~ Amber Gold Ferro
and dabbed on a bit of Cinnamon Brown and Nutmeg Silks Acrylic Glaze.
Then I added some BEAUTIFUL flowers,
which I spritzed with Radiant Rain ~ Shimmering Mist ~ Pearl Gold
to round out my creation!
I just love the quote I chose...
"Whaterever you are....Be a good one" Abraham Lincoln
Hope you've enjoy my creation and that I've
inspired you to "think outta the box!!!"
