Told You So

... another canvas and tissue paper project ... this time a little one and still experimenting

 

This time I gessoed the canvas first and then painted it using acrylic paints. The paint layer was not smooth but I kept it a bit rough and structured. Once the paint was dry I covered it with stamped tissue paper (stamps: Prima Marketing, Penny Black). Before sealing the canvas I stamped around the edges (stamp: Penny Black).

 

The finishing touches are some little pearls and a leftover ruffled ribbon .... the next canvas is already waiting! Petra.

Experimental Canvas

... for the Frilly and Funkie challenge: Get Crafty with Canvas. It is the first time that I tried my hand on a canvas and on tissue paper. It always scared me but I also really wanted to create something with both. The solution: take a masterclass with Lucy. Now, Lucy is the master and I took the class! It was great fun, a lot of mess and I learned a lot, thank you Lucy.
I covered the canvas with distress stains, stamped Crafty Individual images onto tissue paper and tore it up. Once the paint was dry I glued the images to the canvas - what a revelation!

 As the canvas looked a bit lost at first I added some rings stamped with a pen cap and white ink and some embellishments.

The edges of the canvas are covered with lace ... more canvases to follow .... Petra.
