Umbrella man canvas

This is my 2nd attempt at a canvas using the Tim Holtz umbrella man die.

My first go was for the artyinklings September challenge.

Unfortunately on my second attempt I did not do photos as I went and only have a nearly completed canvas and the final photo.

I started by painting the background with fresco paints. Then I applied grunge paste to bottom of the image for a path. This was mixed with stone colour paint.

Next I stamped various flourishes and shapes to the background with black, orange and whites colours.

Next I created my clouds and sign which along with my path and man were all stamped and coloured.

After this i outlined the images in black and some with white also. Then I applied some grunge paste using a stencil to make lines at the top to look llike rain.

I was pleased with how this turned out :-) 

Birthday card

This is a birthday card I made. 

First off I stamped some images onto the card.

The next step i joined some flowers together with a couple of leaves and some flourish shapes.

I next created a heart with wings using a Tim Holtz die. I coloured this to match the tag. 

This was then placed on the card and i also applied some Tim Holtz vintage photo around the card. 

Crimble challenge

This is my entry for the Crimble challenge at Arty Inklings. 

I started by stamping some Christmas words onto some crackly tissue paper then glued these onto my canvas board. 

A coat of gesso was the applied to tone down the colour of the words.  Then with red, green and blue fresco paints i covered the board with different stencil designs.

Next I glued my tree dedesign to the board.

Finally i stamped more images and outlined the tree, added a gold star and toned all these down with some snow flake paint.
