Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial for Dusty Attic

Hello everyone,

It's Marta here. It is so great to be back!

I am sure many of you are already in Christmas mood... thinking about gifts...

I am coming to you with an idea for a Christmas present.

I created a mixed media canvas with photograph.

I do believe that this could be a perfect idea for a Christmas gift for someone special.

Dusty chipboards are a perfect match with canvas and mixed media! All you need is few basic tools like gesso, your favourite chipboards, paper flowers and canvas.

You can watch a full video tutorial and grab some inspiration!

Sit down, relax and enjoy!

Till the next time, Marta xx
