Step 1
Scribble several colors of Marabu Art Crayon onto the canvas board in an arch pattern.
Step 2
Use a sponge dauber to blend the colors together working from lightest to darkest.
Step 3
You can work in more color until you are satisfied with the results.
Step 4
Position a stencil over the canvas; use a damp cotton ball to remove some of the color. Repeat as desired over the canvas.
Step 5
Stamp various design over the canvas with VersaFine Clair inks.

Spread Creative Medium over areas of the canvas through a stencil. Let the Creative Medium dry until it is tacky then sprinkle Sepp Leafing Flakes over the medium. Use a paintbrush to gently press the flakes onto the Creative Medium then brush off the excess flakes.
Step 6
Stamp angel image onto a scrap of white cardstock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Watercolor the image with a combination of regular and mica watercolor paints. Once the image is dry, fussy cut and use foam tape to affix the image to the canvas.
Step 7
Stamp butterflies and sentiment again using the Nocturne ink. Color the butterflies as desired, trim and mount on the canvas.
Step 8
Rub the edges of the canvas with VersaMark ink; sprinkle Seth Apter's Rocky Road embossing powder over the inked areas and heat until desired consistency* is reached.

*Note - Seth Apter's Rocky Road embossing powder is very chunky so it can be heated to varying degrees of melt. You can heat it just a little to keep the rough, chunky look or continue to melt it until it creates a thick, smooth layer of embossing. It is totally up to you and the look you want to create.
Step 9
Add a hanger to the back of the canvas and enjoy!
