Floating on canvas

Good afternoon all. Today's offering is a canvas that I have been working on for a few weeks now.

I bought a few stampotique stamps as I love them loads, especially Daniel Torrente's creations. I think that these evoke strong emotions in the stamping world and like Marmite you either ' love them or hate them '.

The background is a mixture of Dylusions ink and acrylics. I stamped the images and removed the ink by adding water to sections and soaking it up with paper towels. Then re-inked with a paint brush. There is some mica powders blended with water to highlight, and then Tim's crackle paint at the bottom.

I wanted to try to add some depth and create some interest with an old necklace of mine. Am still in two minds about this( daughter thinks i'm in two minds about most things, think that comes from her bi-polar).

Anyway, I hopped over to the Alter it Monthly blog and 'low and behold' this months challenge is 'canvas'. So here is my entry for this month. http://alteritmonthly.blogspot.com/

Seeing Red

Good morning peeps. I have a tag to show you today. Over on http://pinkleart.blogspot.com/2011/05/sunday-stamper-week-156-red-red-wine.html Hels is asking people to join her challenge and create something with Red. OOh did you see what I did there, how clever of me, well actually Blogger, but I'm going to take credit for finding it. Ha Ha.
 I used Tim's tiny stamps from a QVC TSV on a red cardstock. They were stamped with Walnut distress ink, and also on the diecut cog, which was stained with Barn door red, as was the Bliss ticket. A bit of ruffled Tissue Tape,  red ribbon and a few red bling stones to finish it off.
 Hels covers her tags and her placement is fab, I prefer a little less on mine, not so much to go wrong!
