Teresa has put out a wonderful canvas 12x12 sheet to play with especially if you love paint or gesso etc! It has a fabulous texture!

Here's what I did with mine:


It truly is fun!!

You can find the product here:

I covered it with impasto(or modgepodge etc) Then laid some old paper doilies on top


Covered them with some gesso but also added some really old paper flowers I had.... covered them with gesso too - for more texture!


And using Teresa's Blingage Carol's Clocks I smudged the clocks with gesso too!


So this is how its looking so far.. I've also got a corner of a baby wipe and lightly wiped back the petals of the flowers to show a little colour through the gesso


Now for the tissue paper - As soon as I saw this...I bought it just for scrapping!


So tearing off pieces you need to use impasto or the like and cover both sides of the tissue paper... I just use my fingers - I like to get messy!






Then add your embellies and a pic ...




And here's the finished canvas!

Thanks for looking

Ohhhh this is ohh so pretty... hmm i think i may have to have a go at this... yup i will be having a go at this.. off to add it to my cart... ( ooh number 2 cart of the day.. uhh ohh ...)

gorgeous mandy

Absolutley gorgeous Mandy

Just beautiful, Mandy.

Thanks heaps girls!

Good for you Karen - the canvas is kinda hidden and looks a 'nothing' in the shop - more like a bit of white paper unless you read the product name and see that its actually canvas!!!

Its paper backed - and I did a daft thing cos it was rolling up either ends and tried to unroll it the other way - dont do that- it just creased! So you can see that in my pics! Should have just weighed it down on the corners and let it straighten itself out! live and learn!

Ooh Mandy, how shabbily gorgeous is this...sorry I am late, I have been watching the royal wedding and scrapping

Yep....watching the wedding and ironing! Got a whole basket done!

Wow that is lovely it all comes together so well how do you make it look so easy

Looks wonderful Mandy.

Thanks girls

It becomes easy I think Gypsy - the more working with messy stuff like paint etc - the more you practice with it. At first I remember being a bit scared of it - and I had more then my fair share of stuff-ups....
but slowly I got the hang of it.

Like anything.... just needs a little practice to get familar with how its handled - AND you gotta not mind being messy LOL!

Just stunning Mandy
I love how you work with so many textures, your LO's have such a wonderful feel

Absolutely beautiful Mandy!!!
I've been eyeing these off.

That is beautiful Mandy and what gorgeous tissue paper so shabby.
