Hi Everyone! It’s Mona here and I am sharing a project that I created based on this week’s theme “Creative with Quotes”. I created a canvas using mainly products from the newly released Pink Paislee She Art collection designed by Mixed Media artist, Christy Tomlinson. The She Art – Truth paper is FULL of some of my favorite quotes including “She didn’t care if it was perfect”. I think as designers, painters, artists, crafters, etc… we need to remember that our projects don’t NEED to be perfect. It’s ok to make a mistake, it’s an opportunity to learn. If you don’t like something, simply paint over it! 
The She Art collection contains so many products making it so easy to create a mixed media project and so much more! To create my girl’s dress, I combined the Courage polk a dot design along with the Soar multicolored/patterned design. Using fun designs such as criss crosses, scallops and zig-zag stitches from the Press Ons Rub Ons Doodle Art Stitches, I embellished her dress, her legs and many other areas of the canvas.
I added a bit of dimension and texture using the Vintage Doily Mask along with molding paste. What a fun and wonderfully designed stencil don’t you think? I also used Press Ons Artsy Textures which add another layer and fun patterns.
In case you are interested to see how I created this canvas, shown below are some of the steps taken along the way. First, I cut various pieces of patterned She Art papers and adhered them to the canvas.
Using the Vintage Doily Mask as my pattern, I applied molding paste to add dimension and texture:
Once you fill in desired area of the stencil with molding paste, gently lift up and remove the stencil revealing the gorgeous design.
Allow molding paste to dry completely then finish canvas by adding the girl and embellishing with inks, Press Ons Artsy Texture and Press Ons Rub Ons Doodle Art Stitches.
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and are inspired to create.
