A Work In Progress

Well, it is Wednesday again and I am thrilled to bring you something a little different this week as promised. In the first photo you will see most of the tools I used to create a piece of wall art. It is a little intimidating to start with such a large piece of blank! I first had to decide on design so I taped off my first section and stamped my images.

After the stamped images were done I started coloring in with PanPastels. These are a great medium that blend really well and can be bright and vibrant or soft and subtle. I applied the color with a soft palette applicator.

I continued on sometimes stamping first and other times after. I then cut out some pears and ran them through the CuttleBug. I then ran the pastel colors over the tops of the deeply embossed images. I love my CuttleBug!!! I attached the pears with a dries clear glue.

I continued with the same process until I came to my last area. I cut out a larger pear and embossed it and I also stamped the "pears" stamp and tore it out. I added some final touches of pastel to make my embossed image pop a little more. I then painted the edges of the canvas with acrylic paint. I plan to embellish a bit more just not sure how or with what I am going to finish this piece off. It has been fun making this one! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Creating...Don't forget to visit my blog and take part in the contest!
