Welcome to the Club Scrap Take Wing Hop!
Today I’ve made a canvas based on the "Birds on a Wire" image in the Club Scrap Take Wing digital collection. I love mix media canvases with the all the texture, layering, and depth. After reading many blogs and watching many YouTube videos I decided to take the plunge and make my first mixed media canvas. I have broken down the process into four phases:
Phase I - Texture layers
Phase II - Color layers
Phase III - Accentuate
Phase IV - Primary Design
Unless otherwise noted all materials are from the Club Scrap Take Wing Collection.

Phase I - Texture layers
Step 1 – Apply torn paper prints to canvas with matte medium. Next time I'll use solid paper, since the paper pattern did not show in the final canvas.
Step 2 – Apply tissue paper torn to canvas with matte medium.
Phase II - Color layers
Step 1 – Painted with a light layer of gesso for a good color base
Step 2 – Next add distress paint and stain brushed over the top surface
Step 2 – Next add distress paint and stain brushed over the top surface
Step 3 – Add circles using a scrap of bubble wrap that is sprayed with Memory Mist Blue Hawaiian and misted with water. Then it was allowed to dry in place.
Phase III - Accentuate
- Accent edges of torn paper and ridges with distress markers blurring with water
- Splatter with Memory Mist in bright gold
The video I used to learn methods for adding accents and the bubble wrap technique is Accentuating Edges on YouTube from Vivian Keh. Her blog is Contadina K.
Step 2 – Stencil three feathers with Perfect Pearl Mist and paint with Wild Honey Distress Stain
Step 3 – Heat emboss the edge of the canvas with Club Scrap Blue Satin Embossing Power and accent texture with Faded Jean Distress Stain. I learned this one from following Words and Pictures.
Step 1 – Add Birds and Wire
Phase III - Accentuate
Step 1 – Accent the canvas texture with color with the following:
- Gelatos in white, blues, grey, and yellow- Accent edges of torn paper and ridges with distress markers blurring with water
- Splatter with Memory Mist in bright gold

Phase IV - Primary Design
- The "Birds on a Wire" image was enlarged from the Take Wing Digital Kit as a pattern
- Then the birds were cut out of from chipboard and heat embossed twice with Club Scrap Hematite Embossing Power
- Dimension was added by mount bird with Club Scrap black foam tape
- The wire and bird legs are a black cord with a fine wire core
Step 2 Add the "Take Wing Saying"
– Emboss the saying in Club Scrap Hematite embossing power on the red velum
– Emboss the saying in Club Scrap Hematite embossing power on the red velum
- Accent the letters with white Prima Fluid Chalk ink
- Underline the phrase with Weathered Wood Distress Marker and blend with water
Step 3 – Add layer and mount title block
- Tear blue and green print and accent edges with distress ink
- Layer and mount with Club Scrap black foam tape
Let me leave you with one last picture that shows the shine. It took some time, but it was a lot of fun to "play" with the background texture and color until I was happy with it. If you have not done it before I hope you will give it a try.
