Mixed Media rice paper canvas with Stamperia

Stamperia Rice Paper Canvas

Hello friends, I'm back with another Stamperia rice paper canvas.  Mixed media applications are the perfect treatment for the rice papers.  I've used crackle paste, embossing enamels, gold modeling paste, inks and waxes on this one.

The Process

I began the process by gluing the rice paper to a 9 x 12 canvas with Stamperia Mixed Media Glue.  This is a product that I really like, it is thin and just applies so nicely. Matte medium or clear gesso also works just fine.

After the glue dried I used black gesso to stencil on the mustached man at the bottom and then I used gold masking paste to stencil on a clock face, crown and harlequin pattern.

Next, I applied crackle paste all around the edges and after that dried, I misted with gold and brown mists.  Then I added some gold embossing powder and heated in random places around the edge.

Chipboard

I chose some great Steampunk gears from Creative Embellishments and heat embossed them with Stampendous Aged Bronze and Emerald Creek Oil Rubbed Bronze and Charred Gold.  I rubbed on some Rich Copper Prima Metallique wax in a few places to add a rusty look.

Some of the chippies are simply misted with gold mist such as the large gear in this photo behind the clock face.  The flower I used is metal and I enhanced its look by dabbing on embossing ink and Stampendous Aged Gold embossing enamel and heat setting.  If you try this, be careful as the metal does get hot!

To finish up the canvas I used Prima Metallique Waxes to highlight and bring out the details. 

If these techniques interest you, here are some other canvases I've made using similar techniques, Roses Canvas,  Clockwise Mannequin and Red Poppies.

Wrapped Journal for Eileen Hull Designs, Seth Apter, Emerald Creek Craft Supplies and Paper Artsy

Blog Hop!

Join Seth Apter, Paper Artsy, Emerald Creek and Eileen Hull and their teams for the "Get Wrapped Blog Hop"- a creative collaboration using products from the artists. Be inspired, learn new techniques and celebrate the collective talent in this group! Make sure to check out each post - you will not want to miss a single one...  

If you arrived here from Peg Robinson's blog, then you're on the right track.  If not head back to the beginning at Eileen Hull's blog, so that you don't miss any of the fabulous projects along the way.  

The Wrapped Journal

Let's start with the Wrapped Journal Sizzix Scoreboard Die by Eileen Hull Designs.   The die cuts the greatest little journal with a cover that wraps all the way around.

For this blog hop, I made the cutest little doggie journal ever!  Folded up, it's about 3 3/4" x 5" and it hold 4 signature booklets.  

Take a look at this quick video flip through to see all the inside details.

The cover wraps around and makes a neat little package that you can secure in many ways.  I chose to use a ribbon and bow closure on mine.  You could use elastic bands, a button closure, the possibilities are endless as you'll see along the way in the blog hop.

In this photo, you can see how the journal opens up and has a great cover that wraps all the way around.

Seth Apter's Paper Artsy Paints

Here's the outside of the cover "unwrapped".  I used Seth's Paper Artsy Autumn Paint Set for the background of the journal which I simply brayered on using mahogany as my predominant color.  After that dried, I used the midnight color paint to stencil on some muddy little pawprints. 

 Next I adhered a fussy cut border of sweet little doggies!

Emerald Creek Baked Texture Embossing Powders

Emerald Creek and Seth Apter teamed up to make the amazing Baked Texture embossing powders.   These powders were made for artists with their amazing textures and designs.

Take a look at the coat of the chipboard poodle on this signature booklet.  First I painted the chippie with Seth's Buff paint from the Autumn Set 1.  Then I applied Dirty Sand Baked Texture Embossing Powder to the areas where the poodle is curly coated.  I love how the embossing powder created the curly texture of a poodle coat, it's so realistic looking! Her bow is painted with mahogany from the Autumn Set.

Now take a look at the paw print, its embossed with Chunky Rust Baked Texture Embossing Powder.  I love the rough texture, it mimics the feel of a puppy paw!  If you used this color on gears, you would have really cool looking rusty gears.  But I wanted to show you that this color is great even for things that aren't rusty!

Here's a look at all four of the signatures.  They are filled with flip pages, pockets and tuck spots where you can add your photos and memories!
