Mixed Media Canvas with layering dies (Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup Layering Die Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway )

When I saw the new Altenew Craft-a-flower: Buttercup layering die, I was instantly inspired to create a mixed media canvas. I knew it would create a beautifully bright piece and what’s more, I loved it so much, I wanted to translate it into a card as well. So today’s post features something for everyone whether you’re a cardmaker or a mixed media artist.  If you’ve never tried mixed media canvas, I hope you enjoy the video and see how easy the process is – I’m still a beginner but I love it!

You should have arrived here from the fantastic Amanda Baldwin. You can always start at the beginning of the hop over at the Altenew Card Blog here.

Mixed media canvas with layering dies: easy background with acrylic paints

For the canvas, I blended blue acrylic paints from a third of the canvas up towards the top with the darker blue at the top. This canvas measures 5″x7″. Next, I used green paint at the bottom, first colouring all in one colour. Then with a smaller round brush I added layers of different greens in a flicking motion upwards. 

The paint colours used were:

  • Light Blue Permanent
  • Cerulean Blue Hue
  • Brilliant Yellow Green
  • Light Green Permanent
  • Green Deep Permenent

To create the florals, die-cut the Altenew Craft-a-flower: Buttercup layering die out of white cardstock and smoosh various ink colours down to colour the die-cuts. I used the following colours:

The layering die cuts were adhered together with glue and then added to the canvas with varying different levels of dimension for added interest. The canvas was then embellished with a few Moonstone drops. 

Mixed media canvas with layering dies: use it for inspiration to create a card!

This card was inspired by the mixed media canvas. To create the background ink blend Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Blueprint distress oxides onto a white card panel. For the green patch, ink blend Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn

The die-cuts were coloured in the same was previously with the mixed media canvas and again added to the card panel with varying depths of dimension for interest. 

A sentiment was heat embossed from the Paint-A-Flower: Chamomile stamp set and fussy cut out before it as foam mounted onto the front of the card.
