repost: some things are better rich ...

I made a little canvas which didn't turn out too well at the first attempt, but now since I changed some little things here and there I like it a bit better. It's only my second one so please bear with me ;-)

I recycled the canvas, it was an ugly reminder of my very short lived paper napkin attempts LOL
After I thoroughly gessoed it I put some modelling paste through a few stencils, then sprayed it over. The background is a mix of dylusion sprays and colorwash. The words are stamped on a paper coloured with the wrinkle free distress technique, the images stamped, cut out and adhered with 3d pads.

All stamps are by indigo blu, I used grand tour I, pomp and pageantry, and brideshead.
I'm entering this into the indigo blu challenge 'words and phrases'. To see details please have a look at their blog.

It's also my contribution to the crafty boots challenge where Gabrielle chose the theme 'recycle'
as well as to the Artistic Stamper April challenge which is 'texture'.

Love the texture here:

Zweitbenutzung eines kleinen Keilrahmens, eine unangenehme Erinnerung an meine sehr kurzlebige Serviettentechnik-Phase LOL 
Dick Gesso drüber und ein bisschen Modellierpaste durch Schablonen gedrückt. Dann den HG besprüht mit Dylusions und Colorwash; die Stempel extra abgedrückt, ausgeschnitten und mit Abstandsklebern aufgebracht, die Wörter auf ein Papier eingefärbt mit Distress Ink gestempelt und aufgeklebt.

Thanks so much for having a look.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx
