A Mini Canvas

This canvas is 4" x 4", so quite a small area to work on compared to the other canvas's I've done. I started by covering the whole of the front of the canvas with Marigold Distress Crackle Paint. When this was dry I stamped the bird directly onto the canvas using jet black archival ink. I then masked the bird and randomly stamped the flower/tree stamp using distress ink and then I embossed it using clear powder. Finally I used a gold krylon pen to edge the canvas. All the stamps used on this are Tim Holtz / Stampers Annonymous.

Long Tall Sally

This is a bookmark I made for this weeks challenge on Funky Fairies blog - which was "I want you to make something tall and skinny"

I used worn lipstick and tattered rose distress inks to make the background of the bookmark. I then used fired brick distress ink and stamped the swirl stamp (Paper Artsy) over the background and added fired brick distress embossing powder and heat set it. I then stamped the heart swirl and sentiment stamp onto some pink paper using a black ink pad and added clear embossing powder and heat set it. I tore the paper around the sentiment and I cut out the heart and mounted them both onto the bookmark. Finally I edged it with fired brick ink and added an eyelet and some pink fibres.
