Build Your Wings Mixed Media Canvas for Tres Jolie

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

I have a fun and simple canvas design for you today. We are using the July 2025 Mixed Media Kit. Creating this canvas was so relaxing, definitely had fun playing around with the mixed media products. I have a step by step down below as well as the video tutorial which has some bonus tips inside. Have fun and enjoy. Links are down below.

July 2025 Mixed Media Kit

To get started I used a paint brush to place down my mod Podge only on half of the canvas at a time. Be sure to burnish down once you have one side done and then the other side.

After adhering on the rice paper place a little bit of water on the edges of the excess to tear off the rice paper. **view video tutorial**

Next add some clear gesso down on the rice paper to prepare for the Jewel effect paste from the Mixed Media Kit.

So to add a bit of fun I cut a little piece of cheesecloth and placed it in a small cut with a bit of gold perfect pearls and water. Mix a little and set aside for 1-2 minutes.

Next take out the cheesecloth and airdry or you can use your heat tool to dry quickly.

Next I adhered down the cheesecloth around the edges and up onto the canvas area.

After adhering down the cheesecloth I then used the stencil and Tiger's eye stones Jewel Effect Paste to add a bit of texture to the canvas.

I decided use the torn off portion from the rice paper and adhere to a paper frame from May 2025 Scrapbook Kit. These frames are amazing.

Here is the finished canvas I added the mechanical Butterflies from the MM Kit and I used some flowers along with some sentiments from the Finnabair Sentiment Booklet from a previous kit.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and are inspired to create a Mixed Media Canvas from the July 2025 Mixed Media Kit.
