Tina here today with this month's 'A Blank Canvas' series. Each month, I create a Mixed Media layout starting with a blank piece of chipboard. Follow me through my steps in creating my layout and hopefully you'll be inspired to create your own!
Here's a peek at my October 'A Blank Canvas' layout....
I used lots of bright, bold colors this month, but also was inspired by the current watercolor trend.
Step One:
Using your favorite stencil, apply Embossing Paste to your pre-gessoed chipboard canvas.
Step Two:
Using a stamp from the Limited Edition kit, and the Embossing Powder from the Mixed Media kit, apply watermark ink in several areas in center of layout. Heat emboss.
Step Three:
Pour some Lindy's Starburst spray into palette and apply to chipboard using foam brush.
I also applied another color of Lindy's spray.  (In purple)
Step Four:
Using another border stamp from the Limited Edition kit, and the Embossing Powder from the Mixed Media kit, stamp around the outside of the chipboard.  Heat emboss.
Step Five:
Using Lindy's Starburst Spray, apply spray mist to border with foam brush.  (using the same method in Step Three).  I seriously love the 2 toned color in the Lindy's sprays!
Step Six:
Add dots with a Viva Decor Paper Pen.
Step Seven:
For more texture, add Rub Ons to several areas. 
Hint:  I always like to 'remove' a bit of my rub-ons, so use a piece of basic cellophane tape and 'pull' up little bits and pieces of the rub on.  
I had so much fun creating this layout, I created another, using more of the fabulous October Kit goodness.  
That's all for today.  I hope you enjoyed my projects.  Have you created your own 'Blank Canvas'?  If yes, please share it with us on our Facebook page!
