Altered Canvases

Ohhhh-kay! I really love altering canvases.  I bought these odd sizes from M's when they were having a huge sale on them - it was crazy - as in 80% off crazy!! I just happened to be at Michael's and happen to walk to the back where the clearances are and saw these! I was floored.  I bought as much as i could.  I so wished i had more money so i could have bought more! LOL 

This particular one was going to be for a RAK, but i decided i love the simplicity of it all and kept it for myself.  I used the following:

Tattered angel fleur de lies stencil

Molding paste

Basic Acrylic paint (black/gold)

5x7 stapled back canvas

Up close

This canvas is 6x12 and i wished there were more of this size.  I really love how it came out.  I can't really remember exactly everything i added to this canvas but I'll list as much as i can remember. 

6x12 stapled back canvas

tattered angel glimmer mist (shades of green)

E6000 glue for the metals

Flowers from swaps & handmade flowers

papers (lol can't remember from which line - i think Prima Printery)

TH ornate plate, metal clock piece

Various buttons

pearls (not really pearls, but i got it from a swap)

Various metal pieces

I Literally created "A-R-T" :)

I finally finished this altered canvas the other nite.  I really love working with stretched canvas.  I bought the 4x5 stretched canvas from Michael's a while back when they went on a crazy sale (80% off).  So far this has been my favorite project thus far.. Now, this happens to be my favorite kind of mixed media. LOL

I used 4x5 stretched canvas, acrylic paints and lots of other goodies such as; Prima flowers and bling, Recollection flowers, Tim Holtz items (grunge alphas, the metal bird, crown and the word stick) handmade flowers from swaps from The Beach as well as handmade stick pins from swaps again from the beach.  I also used Tattered Angel glimmer chips creme de cocoa, Bo Bunny Timepiece paper collections, and Glimmer Chips, other misc items.
