Make Your Own Magic

Hello and welcome back to my blog.

Today I have something rather unusual to share. This month I made a canvas for the September Scrap Around The World challenge. I decided to do something completely different with it.

Meet Zelda!

Here's the fantastic mood board by the amazingly talented Lydie Denis that I based my canvas on.

I love the colours on this so I used them on my project. I also incorporated book paper and twine. The words "live life" led me to the title of my canvas - "Make Your Own Magic". As you can see though, I certainly didn't use the vintage theme!

I've seen a few fabulous artworks around lately featuring African animals. I thought I'd give these a try. I wanted to use a zebra as it has such striking features. I was rather pleased with myself for being able to paint this I must say!

Somewhere along the way, the zebra acquired a name - Zelda.  I wanted to do something different with her though so, to show how anyone can make their own magic, I glammed Zelda up with pink and silver accessories. She's such a fashionista - lol!

I used Tinby Designs Metallic Melts on Dusty Attic chipboard for the title and the stars. I also traced around some Dusty Attic chippies with a black pen for a bit of extra interest on the background. LSG Magicals are a feature on the background. I love how they make it look like there's a party happening on the canvas!

Zelda's punk hairdo is actually quite natural - I just added a bit of metallic silver and pink to it. Oh - and every girl needs a bit of bling in her ear!

Some cats-eye glasses and Zelda's look is complete!
