Be INSPIRED! and More PEBEO Vitrail Painting...

I am soooo excited to be participating in the Unity Stamp Company's {Be Inspired} Challenge for this Month (April 9th until May 13th) and the images and colors in this month's challenge totally inspired me to create this very first large canvas using more of the PEBEO Vitrail glass paints, Stencils and of course UNITY STAMPS! 

Here is the challenge photo... How did I do? Grin

I created the canvas background first using stencils, Liquid acrylic paints and spray inks.  Then I went to town using my Pebeo dimensional paint in a tube to outline everything I wanted to enhance and then I filled the butterfly wings with my Vitrail paints, these looked so good that I then allowed myself to add more Vitrail glass paint to accent and enhance colored areas and because they are translucent the images behind the paint still show through beautifully.

Then I stamped two of my favorite Suzi Blu Unity Stamp images using Archival Black Ink, Gypsy Warrior and Serenity Angel, and then I painted them using my Inktense pencils like watercolors because these ink pencils will not run after they have dried and the colors are amazing!

After I had cut out my images I mounted them using foam pop dots to the background so they actually POP right off the canvas at you...

The final touch was to add gold leaf as an accent and to help direct your eye around the canvas... this was so easy to do with Pebeo's special "glue in a tube" for gold leaf and their "mirror sheets"... I think you will be seeing a LOT more of this on my future projects!

I just LOVE the shiny and glittery texture I get with this medium and I hope you like this new direction I am taking my Unity Stamps because I SURE AM! Thanks for popping in to see what I am up to and don't forget to leave me a comment if you like what you are seeing!!

Cheers!
