Vintage Canvas

i was super excited to receive my DT package from Bettina at ScrapUnlimited

so many gorgeous elements I can use

 Firstly, I took an A5 canvas board, I used texture paste through a script stencil, added a few bits of collage pieces of paper and used crackle paint instead of gesso, just to add some more texture

 Once dry, I used some distress paints and blended them together with a baby wipe. And some distress crayon around the edge, that I rubbed into the crackle paint.

 Next, I used some metallic gold paint through a Prima stencil (damask) and added some splatter with a Lindys spray

 Here I start assembling my focal image, I used a vintage lady image

and added a Scrapinec chipboard frame around her,

then added some rose ephemera

 I added the flowers from ScrapUnlimited on top of the rose epherema

and followed the frame around with the flowers.

I added the metal keyhole to the top of the focal image.

I keep adding paint and distress crayons to bring colour

to the background so it blends with the background

 Lastly, I added some glitter paste through a stencil

around the frame. Added some stamping and inked around the edges

 Here is a close up pic of the focal image.

Thank you for looking

I've enjoyed making this
