2017/18 Kaisercraft Design Team Application

Moroccan Rose Garden Canvas
"Think of all the Beauty still left around you and be Happy"
 
I am pleased to bring you a new romantic rose canvas design featuring the
"Lilac Whisper Collection" from Kaisercraft
When I first saw the collection my eye and imagination were drawn to the subtle Moroccan paper and tiny wooden shapes.
 I love Moroccan design but wanted to use the soft lilac colours and the imagery of a vintage flowery garden, using the Moroccan shapes like a  lattice backdrop.
 I hope you enjoy  and learn heaps from the process of this creation!
I will list all supplies at the end.  Here are the steps.............
 
Step 1. Using a palette knife spread Gesso over the Moroccan Lattice  and Blossom stencils.
Allow to dry. The Gesso will act as a resist for your next step!
Step 2. Spray KAISERmists over your canvas, spray a little water to activate and allow the inks to run through the stencil designs.
Step 3. Choose a Moroccan shape, cut it out to make a template then cut this shape out of your chosen Kaisercraft papers.
Decide where your main papers will be and draw in circles where your roses will be placed on the  canvas.
 
Step 4. Using a small palette knife, load with texture paste and form your rose shapes.
 Allow to dry.
 
 
Step 5. Glue down your paper shapes onto canvas using Kaisercraft Glaze Paste or Modge Podge, make sure you coat the top of your papers as well.
 

 
Step 6. Spray a little Blackberry KAISERmist onto a palette, using an Aqua brush place this colour into roses for depth. Kaisercraft Gold Gel Pen for centers.
 Use a small filbert paintbrush to paint in leaf shapes in Heritage Green, then highlight with Metallic Gold paint.
 I have used an Inktense Pencil in Indigo Blue to shadow the paper Moroccan shapes with the Aqua brush.
 Fill a needle tip squeeze bottle with Kaisercolour in White and outline leaves and Moroccan shapes.
 
 
Step 7. Finish the detail of your design, I have glued the paper sentiments and butterflies from the Lilac Whisper Collectables  to my canvas, outlining them in White. I love this saying from Anne Frank, I have visited her house in Amsterdam, which is now a museum , and just had to use it in this piece!
 I have used the Blossom stencil again with Texture Paste to enhance one Moroccan shape.
 Adhere your wooden  Moroccan shapes over some of the background lattice pattern.
 Rub over them with Metallic Gold.
You could stop here and hang your canvas, but I wanted more of a statement piece, So lets keep adding!
 
Step 8. Cut strips of paper to cover the sides of your canvas, use your stencils to add extra patterns to the sides, spay with KAISERmist in Blackberry to enhance the pattern. Glue into place.
 
 
Step 9. Using Kaisercraft Corregated Cardboard, cut to size for back of canvas, adhere some of your Moroccan shapes and embellish with pieces from the Lilac Whispers collectables pack. Glue this onto the back of canvas.
 
Step 10. I have hot glued a white ceramic rose knob to the top of my canvas.
 Intertwine your paper blooms by their wire stems, into a long garland and wrap them around the knob, trailing down your canvas design.
 Then I have drilled a small hole into the bottom of my canvas and screwed into place a flat based knob that makes my canvas able to stand.
 
 
Finished Canvas! Able to be displayed anywhere for a full 3D experience.
 I had a lot of fun creating this piece, I hope I have inspired you to get creating as well!
