Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial

Hi there and Happy Easter!
Hope you all had a great time with your families this weekend, as did I. It's really fun to see the celebration and joy of Christ's Resurrection.
Today I wanted to share a very detailed tutorial of a mixed media canvas I completed using mostly Lindy's Stamp Gang's Products. It was a super fun project, where I got my hands quite dirty, but thanks to my loyal scrubby, also sold at Lindy's Stamp Gang, my hands made it out clean and soft after I was done. I used a ton of awesome products and you will see them in the video tutorial below, but for your convenience, I'll be linking each of the products I used to the website, so it's easier for you to locate them and purchase them if you are interested.
I've been playing here and there with mixed media, but have not ventured out into sharing much about it, because it's something relatively new to me, and I'm not quite confident in sharing a lot about it yet. However, I had a blast creating this project and I hope you can see that in the video. I'm pretty happy with the end result, and that's not only because there is an owl right smack in the center of my project lol.
Here's the list of the products I used:

FLAT FABIOS:

EMBOSSING POWDERS:

STARBURST STAIN: Dark Chocolate Truffle

GLITZ SPRITZ: Cactus Gold

WORDS OR WHATEVER DIECUT: Owl
Below is the picture of my finished project, and under that, the video tutorial. I hope you enjoy! 
Happy Spring everyone!!!!

    1. Hi, thank you. You can try the Words or Whatever website. They are sold out on the website I linked. It's been a year since I posted this, so I'm not sure if it's still available on their site either, but you can give it a try.
