My mom is in a nursing home. Every time i visit I try to bring her something I made. She was always an artist and is so happy I have begun dabbling with art supplies.
I enjoy creating mixed media canvases and could not wait to start creating with these beautiful papers from Rinea!
This paper is made of two layers of aluminum foil with a layer of paper in between. This makes it sturdy but also able to be shaped. The colors truly add a sparkle to any project!
My supplies included a flat panel canvas, tissue paper, Rinea foil papers, stamps and dies and my favorite glues – Gemstone Glue , Tacky Craft Glue and ScrapDots.
I began by adhering the tissue paper to the canvas using the tacky glue and a glue spreader.
Once the tissue paper was dry, I used paints and stamps and stencils to create a background.
Using my die cutter, I cut a bird and flowers from the Rinea paper. This paper works wonderfully with a die cutter! I hand cut feathers for his wing and tail. I also stamped on the flowers and leaves. I used a tool with a ball tip to outline the stamped lines on the bird and flowers.
I recommend the Gemstone glue for this project. I put the feathers on the bird and created my flower cluster.
Here is a close up of the feathers. I formed them by pinching or using the end of a brush. Don't you love the colors and shine?!?
I stamped and cut out butterflies and using the end of a brush shaped the wings. I used Scrap Dots to adhere them and give them dimension.
And here is the finished canvas. I think this will brighten my mom's room on a gloomy winter day!
I recommend Rinea paper for those projects which needs a sturdy paper but one that you can shape. And the foil colors are just delightful!
Thank you for joining me and I encourage you to check out these wonderful Rinea papers!
I hope you will visit Helmar for all of your adhesive needs.
