HAPPY 5th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

A very happy anniversary to my step daughter and husband.

I made them a canvas rather than a card influenced by an amazing creation I had seen from a lady called Karen Clare. Here is the link to her blog http://karenslittlegiftsandcards.blogspot.co.uk

I contacted Karen and showed her my canvas because it was taken from a box she creates at one of her workshops and whilst I have no idea how she created her masterpiece, I thought I had better ask permission just in case. She was delighted and had no problem with me showing my attempt. Thank you for that Karen.

I started off die cutting the bits I would need

I used Tims dies and lots of distress paints

I then clear embossed over some old dictionary pages which I had stuck to the canvas

A bit of gesso over the top 'quietened' down the print.

I then assembled all the bits and after painting etc. it was done.

I hope the happy couple have a lovely day.
