Chevron Canvas by Jen

Hello everyone!! I have a little canvas project to share today. I created this with a burlap covered canvas.

I added lots of fun UmWowStudio chip and miscellaneous pieces from my stash. I wanted a gorgeous art decor with lots of circles and arrows.

First I glued down some of the items using a liquid permenant adhesive. I used an UmWowStudio Doilies, Gear MASH, Chevron Confetti and Button MASH for this project.

I covered it with a layer of Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gesso. Once dry, I added some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle through an UmWowStudio Circle Confetti Stencil.

When dry, I went to town with some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® Colors in Metallic.

Finally, I embellished with some glass beads mixed with gel medium and some bling and From The Heart flair!

And finally, an inspirational quote: To the artist, EVERYTHING is possible!

From the Heart album by Jen Matott

I got one of these UmWowStudio Waterfall Bracket Tag Book and had so much fun adding color and embellishments to create this lively artwork!

I got this quote off of Pinterest and knew I wanted to incorporate it into this project! With lots of Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft media and UmWowStudio From The Heart flair and chip made it easy!

Here's a peek at the other pages...

Stamping with embossing ink and embossing with WOW! Embossing powder makes this triangle design shine!

To start, I painted every other page with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft's Chalk Board Paint.

Once dry, I added white Stamper's Big Brush Pen and Faber-Castell Art Grip Colored Pencil in white for some doodles.

Some Faber-Castell Design Whipped Spackle looks amazing through UmWowStudio Line of Chevrons Mask! The kraft color really makes the Whipped Spackle stand out! Adding lots of Gelatos colors, drippage and embellishments made this really POP!

To finish this book off, I added some adorable UmWowStudio Alpha One and Chevron Confetti! I loved working on this project and hope you will share any UmWowStudio book projects you've made! These are so fun to use!

Create Art by Jen Matott

I'm in a "Art Journal Swap" that trades journals and each person does a page in it following a theme that is set by the owner of the book. It's fun to see what others have done in the book prior to you getting it but it's equally fun to create a page to pass on!

This book's owner left the theme up to each artist. I just chose to create something mixed media with texture and color! I wanted to keep my theme about art and creation.

I added a gorgeous UmWowStudio From the Heart flair to this page. I used lots of circles here to create a uniform look. However, I mixed up the textures and sizes of the circles.

Starting with some book paper strips and then adding some stamped circles. Some dimension was added with an UmWowStudio circle confetti stencil and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle.

Some close up details of my page...

I used Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® in Steampunk Colors to create layers, drips, and spray.

I loved how this page turned out... it's hard to part with something like this but I can't wait to see all the fun pages in my journal that's coming back to me!
