Spray Test and Canvas With Cindy Brown

Hi Gang, it’s Cindy here today and I’m testing the four different  Lindy’s Sprays and then using them to create a beautiful custom Lace Canvas .

First I tested the 4 types of Lindy’s Sprays on different papers to see how they look on different backgrounds – black, textured, paper and yupo.

Basic Technique

1. The first test is on a black paper. I used Lindy’s Sprays : STARBURSTS (SHIMMER & INK) – FLAT FABIOS (INK ONLY) – MOON SHADOWS (VINTAGE SHIMMER) – GLITZ SPRITZ (JUST SHIMMER).   I was surprised that you can actually see all the sprays on black card, though mostly just the shimmer color.
2. The second test is on a watercolor paper or I used Lindy’s Sprays : STARBURSTS (SHIMMER & INK) – FLAT FABIOS (INK ONLY) – MOON SHADOWS (VINTAGE SHIMMER) – GLITZ SPRITZ (JUST SHIMMER).   The colors are bright and true on watercolor paper – they look perfect!

   

3. The third test is on a mixed media paper or I used Lindy’s Sprays : STARBURSTS (SHIMMER & INK) – FLAT FABIOS (INK ONLY) – MOON SHADOWS (VINTAGE SHIMMER) – GLITZ SPRITZ (JUST SHIMMER).  Each of the sprays look wonderful on the Mixed Media Paper as well!.  Each of the sprays looks wonderful on the Mixed Media Paper as well!
4. The fourth test is on a Yupo paper I used Lindy’s Sprays : STARBURSTS (SHIMMER & INK) – FLAT FABIOS (INK ONLY) – MOON SHADOWS (VINTAGE SHIMMER) – GLITZ SPRITZ (JUST SHIMMER).  The sprays took longer to dry on the Yupo so they ended up with interesting little drying marks and patterns.
5. Here is the final result, the sprays look different depending on the surface you spray them onto – but are always beautiful!
   

You can see my tests in this video :

Now it’s time to create a Beautiful Canvas. I used all the same Sprays  that I tested to make my Lace Canvas.

1. Cover frame with Tape and Washi Tape.
   
2. Glue on beautiful Lace for texture.
   
3. Use Gesso in Black and White to prepare the canvas.
   
4. Spray with 4 types of Lindy’s Sprays : STARBURSTS, FLAT FABIOS, MOON SHADOWS and GLITZ SPRITZ
   
5. Add flowers and sticker words to finish.
   

I love playing with Sprays for splatters and texture.

I have filmed a video showing how you can make this, you can watch it below or on the Lindy’s Stamp Gang YouTube Channel.

Tips

• I love using Sprays with brushes to create Splatters.
• You can overlay sprays colors, they blend well and don’t get muddy.
