Today's project is a canvas board I made. I've never done anything like this before and had a lot of fun with this one. I'm calling it my "CAS" attempt because I can promise that my future canvases will have more stuff on them.
I started out with a layer of sheet music, then gessoed over the top of that. Unfortunately, I think I applied a little too much as it's now a bit difficult to see the music. Live and learn. I then painted the piece with blue and turquoise acrylic paints over which I painted CI Paints in Sky Blue and Aqua Marine. Instant shimmer!
The cheesecloth was painted with Autumn Wheat and Rustic Red with touches of Gold here and there, then stamped with the wings from the Tim Holtz Regal Flourish stamp set.
The centerpiece heart is grunge board on which I used the Faux Cloisonne Technique using Rustic Red, Aqua Marine and Royal Purple. A couple of gold bead caps nestle the red Jeweled Inspiration nicely.

I had to laugh about you covering the sheet music so much you couldn't see it anymore because on the first mixed media I ever did in a journal, I did the exact thing! I had no idea that gesso was SO opaque! ;D Your piece turned out beautiful. Did you draw in the brick pattern? It looks fantastic!
