Sarah celebrated her birthday at the weekend, I started out making a card for her with my friend Karen's new prima stamp, but decided to make it into a canvas picture for her instead.
I made this on National Scrapbooking Day whilst at a local crop in Bramford. It was pretty much a spur of the moment thing and I am very proud of it!
The base is a piece of sticky back canvas that I bought on the day of the crop. I paper pieced the doll with left over scraps from a page I did last week as well as some cm stickers that someone was giving away at the crop.
The paint effects were made with my new yummy Tim holtz distress paints over my new masks, sunburst studio calico one, a crafters workshop tiny font one and some chicken wire - I think that was a stamposaurus one. It was really bold and bright to begin with as you can see in the picture, but then I swipe the canvas with picket fence(white) to dampen the colour. I love the way these paints work!
For the foliage and flowers I stamped direct to paper using the lovely JOFY stamps (thank you Liz x) and coloured the grass using TH distress pens.
I also used my new chocolate baroque words stamps they are going to be used so much! Lol...
The die cut frame is a sizzix one in black cardstock, rubbed with treasured gold.
I added a prima being swirl and some flowers that I had in my embellishment box.
It is now pinned in a frame that I purchased from the range that gas a magnetic catch on the front, so like an enclosed onboard! I night have to get another one for myself!
