My Dreamweaver focused interpretation used one of my absolute favorite stencils...the Fairy. After adding a few layers of acrylic paint (drying in between), I decided to go with stenciling the Fairy right onto the canvas cover. I used Dreamweaver Regular Embossing Paste and while wet, sprinkled Stampendous Encrusted Jewels Kits - Teal on the wings and Pink on the fairy. Each section was heated with a heat tool (separately) from underneath until it melted sufficiently. Clear glue was applied to the upper right and lower left corners and Teal fragments were sprinkled into the glue. I laid a piece of cardstock over the fragments and pressed over the glue and and let it dry. A scrap piece of painted paper was stamped using the Stampendous Eclectic Charms clear stamp set and Versafine onyx black ink. Tiny attachers (Tim Holtz) affixed the sentiment in place. Flowers from my stash (Prima, Paper Mart) were hot glued in place. Two holes were pierced through the pages and the spine of the canvas mini and tied with seam binding (Hug Snug). I literally tried 8 different ribbons until I finally felt satisfied with the ribbon color against the painted canvas! It is a double piece of ribbon and is scrunched with a few spritzes of water.

I love the final result of the back cover! It went through several layers of acrylic paint (that I wasn't happy with) and I finally laid the Dreamweaver Pop Rectangles Stencil over the canvas and spritzed Memories Mists Blue Lagoon over the stencil. I lifted the stencil off and saw a hole where the green color now is, so I cleaned the stencil and laid it back down and sprayed Memories Mist Kiwi just into the area where the hole was and voila! I'm doing a happy dance!
Finally, I couldn't resist adding pages to the Fairy mini although they aren't finished on purpose. Here are more papers from the Stampendous Creative Palette Rectangles acrylic painting fun I had that are the perfect size for each page. The flip side of the Creative Palette papers were sprayed with Memories Mists. All I did was cut the pages down a bit which gave me some terrific leftover pieces to stamp on. I had the Stampendous Cling Beautiful Life previously embossed in gold on vellum in my stash and thought it worked beautifully for my first page.
I hope you enjoy my project today and that it inspires you to play with canvas, paints, Stampendous stamps, Dreamweaver products and your scraps! Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win!
