Scrapbook Canvas
Just a quick post tonight, as my husband is being sorely neglected. I have been working like a trojan lately to get this canvas finished. It has been a labour of love, and I have really enjoyed making it. I have used my favourite colours, aubergine and teal, and lots of swirls and butterflies which I love too.
I used gesso to prime my Donna Downey canvas page, which I then painted with watered down acrylic paint. I then pasted some old book pages onto the painted surface with a transfer medium, Golden soft gel. I stamped some phrases onto dressmaker's pattern, and pasted that too. I overstamped some swirls, and images, added some bling, a handmade flower, and my large butterfly. I used Michelle Roo's instructions for the handmade flower which can be found on her blog. I hope you like my efforts, I'm certainly going to do some more of these, bye for now, Judith x

stunning, Judith! I keep seeing that Butterfly and trying to resist buying it, but I'm getting weaker by the second!
Judith, that's absolutely stunning! Just beautiful. I love those colours too. Well worth all the time you must have spent on it. If you're going to do more I can't wait to see them.
I've just got that butterfly. It is gorgeous, isn't it? Shrinks beautifully too.
Fabulous page Judith. I can't see one element I don't love. The colours are really pretty and the butterfly is gorgeous. I love all the swirls too.
Can't wait to see what you do next time.

You've dine a great job incorprating lots of those techniques we tried on the Retreat - well done. I so love this big butterfly - it must be one of my most favourite stamps ever, even if it is a bit enormous and I had to buy a new huge acrylic block for it!! I bet you had a whale of a time playing with this project. I feel inspired to have a play now!
