Light up Airship Canvas for My Design Team

Dear Reader

Welcome to the first post of 2021!  May the year ahead be a healthy and happy one for us all!

I am starting off the year as the first person to post for my Lady Vagabond Design Team.  I 'm excited to share that there will be a YouTube hop starting on the 15 January and running until 31 January with 5 Pizza box prize winners being announced on Thursday 4 February on the Facebook Stamperia Cafe.

Yes, you read that right... 5 people will stand the chance to win a pizza box filled with Stamperia products by commenting "which country and city they live in" on the 9 videos in the hop and liking each video.... as easy as that!

You will be able to see how I made this standing canvas with lights in this hop, but for now, I will show you the photos of the canvas and give a brief explanation.

This is the back in the photo below with the little light switch and battery pack hidden at the bottom right hand corner...

A side shot to see the dimension I created by using fun foam under the fussy cut layers.

In this photo you can see the cardstock gear I cut on my Brother Scan n Cut shining through the rice paper that I put on acetate over the reverse side of the canvas.

As always, I like to balance my project and I have the large airship off the left hand side of the canvas, so I have put the badge off the bottom right hand corner and of course, there are 3 airships to make sure that there are an ODD number of items to keep your eye moving around the canvas.  

I cut a drop shadow for the large airship on my Brother in black cardstock and then added fake drop shadows on the other items on the canvas with some paint.

For the Sir Vagabond little airship, I used a half a Christmas ornament to give it dimension and aged it with Allegro paints to help it blend into the canvas a bit more.  I also put a clear "bubble" over the little clock on his airship under the half ornament for added interest.  In this close up shot you can also see the brads that I added to the lock as well as the drop shadow on the left hand side of the lock.

This is a different angle of the built up airship so that you can see the dimension of the bent paper.
