A Corrugated Canvas

The brief for this month over at Arty Inklings is to show a version of this canvas above.

So firstly instead of a canvas, I used a squarish piece of corrugated approx 9" x 9".

I gave it a coat of white gesso and painted it with baltic blue and sky fresco paints.  I mixed elephant fresco to grunge paste and put it through the diamond and roman letters stencils (only because I mixed way too much - again!!).

Close up of the GP diamonds.

And the Roman letters.

Using the clock stencil I pushed picket fence distress stain through on the top left corner.

Then I needed a focal point but I also wanted to use a die.  So I cut the arch from ribbed kraft card, stamped the TH image and coloured with distress markers and a water brush.

I stamped the T!m quote to the bottom in black stazon, attached the arch die/image and finally edged the frame with black eco friendly paint.

I do apologise for the quality of the photo, the blue on the bottom half is just reflecting back into the camera!!

I hope this is okay and fits the brief!!!!  Either way, I had great fun  making it.
