Canvas- Out Of The Darkness, Lanette Erickson
Today I am sharing a canvas that I call "Out of the Darkness" featuring Sandra's beautiful Santo Domingo Sacred Heart Set I was inspired to create this canvas after I saw Sandra's original that she found in France. She shared a picture of it over in the Relics & Artifacts Tribe and I was officially in love with this beautiful heart.
I Started by creating a shadow box using the fip side of a canvas. As you can see I used lots of lovely lace and some random bits from Sandra's Crosse Icons, Regalis, Visage Set and even a Tribe piece.
Next I wanted to truly make this stunning Heart shine so I decided to use the VerDay Metal Paint Set to create a dark and seductive background. After a quick coat of black gesso I started to randomly layer my VerDay Paints. I used a mix of Iron and Bronze paints.
As you can see the magic really starts to happen after my second coat of paint and a light spray of the Patina Solution.
Finally I placed my Sacred Heart with a bit of a highlight . I absolutely love how this turned out. I hope that my first Muse project has inspired you in some small way.
