Colour Outside the Lines with Deb Antonick

I have been having a lot of fun trying new styles and products. For this project, I went way outside my comfort zone. I hope you enjoy my little journey.

I started with an 8” x 8” Canvas board with a coat of gesso and then some bright DecoArt Acrylics.

Blend the colours carefully with some White.

While still we, I rolled over it with a brayer to create a chippy distressed look.

Spatter with some White and then some Black.

Once dry, I stenciled on some circles with Gesso, and then White paint.

I then coloured the circles with some Tim Holtz Distressed Crayons. I use these for the first time and I quite enjoyed working with then. I love the freedom of blending with my fingers. I then outlined the circles with the Stabilo Aquarlleable Pencil and smudged with my angle shading brush.

I then stamped a and embossed the upper right corner.

I stamped some text and music.

I embossed a little music on the edges.

I embossed the dragon fly and attached it with Pop Up Dots.
