STEPS
TOOLS
Take out all the flowers pieces from the Graphic 45 Raining Cats & Dogs Flowers pack, keep the backing for further use
Use Faber-Castell Gel Medium to adhere the flower pieces on the canvas, leave to dry
Don’t forgot the four sides
Use the Raining Cats & Dogs flower backing as stencil, apply Faber-Castell Whipped Sparkle, don’t forgot the sides as well, heat tool to dry, this will give an uneven texture look
Apply a thin layer of watered-down Gesso on the whole canvas, need leave the flower pieces at the bottom layer can be seen
Draw on a color of Faber-Castell Gelatos randomly on the canvas
Use a water brush to spread the Gelatos
Spray water on the Gelatos color and let the color dip, repeat steps 6-7 to add more colors as you wish
Use your finger to spread out the rest of the Gelatos colors and let the colors to be blend together, leave to dry or heat tool to dry
To highlight some of the flowers, use various colors of Faber-Castell PITT Big Brush
Use water brush to blend well the Big Brush colors
Die-cut flower panels use papers from various Graphic 45 collections as you like, use coordinate Distress Ink to color the back of each panels
Use ball tool to curve the flower panels
Use whatever kind of strong adhesive to stick the panels and the flower stamen, I’d use hot glue gun here
Repeat steps 12-14 for medium and small flowers
Adhere the flowers on canvas using strong glue or hot glue gun and done!
