Lucky Mixed Media Canvas

 Hi friends! I hope you had a good Easter weekend!

This week we have a Get Lucky theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us and don't miss the project by our April guest designer Ann Chuang.

I made a mini canvas this week on the theme of being lucky. I used a mix of dies, paint and metallic idea-ology embellishments for the canvas. 

Coat the canvas with gesso. Die cut the word from heavystock paper using Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Emporium dies. Adhere to the canvas with matte medium.

Paint the canvas with Distress Paints and mist with water to blend. When dry, stamp the word 'lucky' with Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Squares set. Stamp crackles with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background.

Add more brown paint around the edges.

Apply Sizzix Silver Luster Wax around the edges and on the letters.

Distress the metallic elements with Distress Paint. The key is from Tim Holtz Word Keys.

The typeface used for this word stamp is similar to the one used for the Emporium die cut letters, which made them go well together.

The key was attached by wrapping wire around a Tim Holtz Hitch Fastener.

I also used Game Spinners, Mini Gears and brads.

The luster wax make the letters stand out better, while also giving extra texture.

The word becomes almost embedded into the canvas board. You can of course use any word, as long as it fits on your surface.
