Happy Thursday afternoon blogland!!!! Mother Nature truly is mad at all of us....look at everything she has sent our way lately...not nice...ha ha !!! Today I have a recycled canvas that I made for a couple challenges...one is for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...A is for?....and the other is a monthly challenge over at Our Creative Corner Challenge Blog... no more shopping sins challenge....ENJOY!!!!
on the canvas I used an old jar of modeling paste and used the top of the spatula to make texture in the paste before it dried..painted with distress paints and even stains to achieve the coloring....on the letters I used Flower Soft in red to cover them...but then I kind of distressed them by removing bits and pieces that uncovers a chipboard letter...I also matted and pop dotted them to give more dimension...the wood scrolls I used I painted with more distress paints and stains then added silver stickles..I printed part of the definition and other parts I added 3D letters...
here is my little metal girl that just gave me a fit..that's prolly why she has been in my stash for years now...but she's one of those stakes for the yard/garden pots...I cut the metal stake off painted her with yep, distress paints, added a layer of distress stickles, wiped off (which this leaves some glitter) and then another light layer of paint...I added some baby doll hair (which I think I've had this in my stash for about 10 years..lol)...ribbon and a pearl to symbolize the face...I had a wooden fence that I cut in half and added that to the other side...then a piece at the top for the crown...waste not want not...lol...
painted the starfish and added a die cut behind it...I took a burlap sheet from Canvas Corp and added strips to the side of the canvas...
here's my goodies that I used...some very old and some new...
all of these items I used were very very dusty....Thank you to OCC for their challenge no more shopping sins...this made me get out all of my unloved goodies and make a piece of ART....
**************

"Crazy"? Well, if crazy is another way of saying "genius"! I love your canvas, so vibrant and richly textured! Thanks for joining us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAck! LOVE it! What a great way to use up random schtuffs in your stash. I really like the texture you achieved and the fence crown is brilliant! Oh! I also LOVE the use of the burlap on the sides. So interesting to look at. I have a roll of burlap... I should use it. I may just steal your idea for a canvas of my own. I'm inspired!
