13 arts: Peace on Earth...A Holiday Canvas by Mona Pendleton

Hi there and welcome to the 13arts blog! It's Mona here today with A Holiday Canvas to share featuring a variety of awesome 13arts products!

To create my project I first collaged the background using pretty black Cold Wall patterned paper from the Frosted Life Collection. Once dry, I added lots of texture using a variety of 13arts mediums. The fun 3D little balls are Glass Microspheres D2 that I adhered with Gel Medium. I randomly applied the following 13arts acrylic paints: Matte Mahogany, Matte Blue and Matte Pink. For more texture and design, I applied Ayeeda Gesso and then sprinkled with shiny Glitter gold - bars:

For a burst of gold and LOTS of texture, I covered her chipboard wings with Gold Microspheres using Gel Medium.

For a little extra girly touch, I adhered a paper rose to her halo then sprinkled it with Glitter gold - bars:

The angel's face and body was made using beautiful patterned paper from the Faces of Spring Collection and her dress was made using pretty patterned papers from the Frosted Life Collection.
