HEART OF THE HOME - Small Mixed Media Canvas
(Mixed Media & Art May Challenge)


I went mixed media today while I had a day off work,
and I created this small and simple canvas inspired
by the Mixed Media & Art May challenge:


The Mixed Media & Art challenge offers Architecture as the theme
and proposes a small format project.  Click HERE to learn 
all the details and see gorgeous inspiration from their DT.


My canvas is definitely of a smaller format... 2.5" wide x 8" tall.

After priming it with white gesso, I hadn't some texture to it
by using a brick stencil and molding paste.  I then added colour,
reddish brown, grey and black for the brick part on the left 
and a combination of teal, turquoise, blue and white on the right.


Because I wanted to keep it simple, I opted to add
a plain house chipboard shape coloured with Distress Stain.
I then added a heart which I embossed with polka dots
and I painted a very light shade of blue.


I placed a swirly 'smoke' of flowers coming out
of the house chimney and sprinkled some microbeads.


And there you have it... a very simple home decor!

Thank you to Mixed Media & Art for the inspiration!!
