Ladies Night In: Mixed Media Canvas

A lot of times I make projects cause inspiration hit me over the head by talented artists. I was hugely inspired by Yulia Pospelova's piece on her YouTube channel.

This month's Creative Embellishments challenge is fun and can be interpreted so many different ways. I love art like this and can come up with about 10 completely different ways to be inspired.

My piece is all about time well spent with my girlfriends. I miss them bunches during these crazy days. Chatting and laughing about motherhood, husbands, jobs and life is what having girlfriends is all about.

Friends bring new experiences and "color" into your life. They manage to mold and "fit" into the foundation that is you. For this piece I used about 8 different colors. I'm not sure how it all works, but give a go if you are inspired. (Supplies listed below.)

49 and Market flowers mixed with Finnabair molds and paint, Creative Embellishment's chipboard and Lindy's sprays.

The leaf is leftover from another project. I know it's darker than the rest of the piece but somehow it works with the crazy color scheme anyway.

Paints and sprays are best used separately when working with a piece, in my craft room anyway. The colors pop and do not become muddy when swirling with other mediums.
