1 Timothy 4:12

Good morning all! This is my second week as Guest Designer at Word Art Wednesday! This week is a wonderful free scripture of 1 Timothy 4:12. This scripture reminds me of my husband. Paul encourages Timothy to be an example even though he is young, just as my husband was a young pastor. So for this weeks project I made my husband this mixed media canvas! I can't tell you how much I loved making this! I first primed the canvas with gesso. I then adhered all my texture items with Mod Podge. I used several different laces and some webbed ribbon. I had some scrap flute, so I added that and was super happy with how it looked! I added more texture using four different styles of alpha stickers, a sheet of cardstock that I embossed using clocks, cheese cloth, strips of paper, string, a key, gears, mini paper clips, a hinge, and a heart charm. After the Mod Podge had dried, I covered the enter canvas with gesso. Then after it dried, I inked the canvas with alcohol inks. I actually mixed my own ink colors to spray. So, if you don't have any sprays on hand, but you have the little alcohol ink bottles you can mix your own! I got a spray bottle and dripped about 6 drops of ink and 12 drops of the alcohol blending solution into it. This worked great! When I was finished with how it looked, I lightly added some gesso over the 3D elements to add dimension. To finish off, I stamped an I Love You stamp with metallic blue paint, added a Tim Holtz clock with hands, lantern, bottle cap with the word Inspire inside, alpha sliders with a piece of burlap running through it, and a bottle. The scripture plaque was made using......I bet you'll never guess! Shrinky dink paper! I printed the scripture on printable shrinky dink paper and punched four holes in the corners and in about 3 minutes....Wha La! A gorgeous plaque! I hope you enjoyed this altered canvas! Please stop by Word Art Wednesday and get your free scripture this week! :)
