Welcome back to The Crafters Workshop Blog!

 I am sharing a pillow I painted using a canvas pillow from Canvas Corps.

Because my piece is probably not washable, I decided not to prewash the fabric first, so that it would be a little less absorbent.  Then I just started painting!

I used Acrylic Paint, and Prisma Color Pencils to draw my girl.

Once that was done I painted the back ground roughly with pale acrylic paint.

Then I got out one of my new Crafter’s Workshop Stencils. TCW473-Fireworks  (see all the brand new stencils HERE) and my heavy bodied Gel Medium and used a sponge to apply it all over the background.

The gel medium just makes it slightly visable, and shows up differently in different lights.  Its really pretty for an unobtrusive pattern.

And the art Pillow in pride of place on my lounge!

Thanks for checking in today!
