Thankyou for popping in to see what I have to show you today. I have the pleasure of hosting this weeks Allsorts Challenge and it is Three in a Row
I thought this was quite perfect for this weeks Challenge as the butterflies are perfectly in a row. This is the project that we made in the Tim Holtz workshop at the trade show in February and I thought I would save it for posting now as it really fitted the bill.
I was thrilled with the finished piece and really enjoyed doing it (it was a huge benefit that we had the master to teach us!! Tim Holtz.)
The project started with 2 canvasses with TH tissue tape wrapped around it and then distressed with vintage photo. The list of other products that we used is endless but I will list a few but please feel free to get in touch and ask me about any further detail.
The stamps that we used were Stampers Anonymous Attic Treasures
Idea-ology screw eyes, tissue wrap, adornments, sprocket gears, game spinners,film strip ribbon, journaling ticket, metal corners (these are stunning!) grungeboard and a pen nib.
We also used Sizzix alterations to cut the heart. This is in the movers and shapers range.
The most impressive product that we used are the Distress Markers. We used these for the first time as they were launched at the show. (I have ordered a full stand for the shop, cant wait for it to arrive!)
We coloured the butterflies with these, if you are a lover of Distress inks you will love these too. The ink in the pen is the exact colour of all the existing DI's.
We also used clear Rock Candy distress crackle paint which is fab to use and creates a great finish to grungepaper or board.
I hope that this has inspired you to have a go at an altered canvas. With these quality products you can't fail to create a masterpiece.
Thankyou for popping in today and I would really love to hear what you think to the project. All your comments are so appreciated.
Also pop over to the Allsorts Challenge to see the other fab designs from the Design Team members.
Have a fabulous weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums, I hope that you are all spoilt rotten and relax while everyone runs around you for a change!
Bye for now
