Aurella,
Nicecrane and
Sunrise Crafts.I have been dying to decorate a canvas(10"x8") and bought one a few weeks ago and this week thought go for it lol.I covered the canvas in gesso,then made some modelling paste to use through a stencil and sequin waste,I then added die-cuts,dewdrops,corrugated cardboard,keyring chain,chipboard letters and flower shapes,odd flowers,lace,tiny key,washer,hessian,metal hook,broken locket,fabric butterfly,plastic earing-then covered the lot in gesso and added cosmic shimmer sprays,glitter,and Twinkling H2O's.Quite pleased with a first try but dying to have another go and next time will use less flat stuff and let colours dry before I try to add another!!!
