I know I appear a little boring with my canvases but hey I just could not resist lol. This time I used a canvas picture I bought from a car boot sale last week. I paid the princely sum of 50p.
This is a mish mash of just about anything laying about in my craft room.
I used modelling paste on part of the canvas and laid alot of different embellies over the paste. When dry I layered up more embellies. These were all in my stash and to name but a few there are wooden bits and pieces, flowers, leaves, chain, beads, plaster hearts and clouds, plaster letters to spell out LOVE, string, earrings - the list is endless lol.
I used a web like lace for the other portion of canvas. I painted the entire canvas and embellies using white acrylic paint. I then cut into the canvas to make an opening. I glued back the pieces of canvas to look like an explosion.. well it is supposed to look like it lol.
I covered a piece of chipboard using paste and randomly stippled it using my palette knife. I then sprayed it using a variety of perfect pearl sprays and fixed it behind the opening. I then used a purple color rub n buff over the texture. I used the same technique over the entire canvas.

AFTER
Well I hope you can make sense of this piece because I can't. I just wanted to use some of my stash as it was gathering dust lol.
Thank you for visiting me and I do hope you call back another time.
