The new challenge at FSC this month is to ‘Make Your Own Background’. We have the lovely Avril to thank for the new theme so please check out those amazing backgrounds that all the design team have made for your inspiration.
Below is the canvas I made whilst Skyping with Dot the other week and oh my what fun we had.
We decided to enter both canvases as our DT makes for FSC. Click to see all the details of the first post.
As you can see I did all the spraying of the flowers off page (just didn’t want my little mits to get all messy) then arranged when I had completed the canvas.
Isn’t that stamped face so beautiful, it’s from the Donna Downey Studios called ‘She Is’. Only used her twice, the other time on a journaling page here.
Found the bangle covering her eye in a flea market about four years ago and I just knew I would find a use for it someday.
The tissue paper was also out in force as well as the corrugated cardboard, molding paste and torn out pages from a book … all the usual!!!
Thanks Dot for a truly unforgettable morning – can’t wait for more!!!
I would love it if you hopped on over to see all the DT’s work as they are simply stunning. Also don’t forget that the winner of this challenge has $20 to choose anything they like from Flonz’s store.
LOL…and now I can finally see it finished! It looks absolutely awesome Shirley….ummm ~ I think we need to work on you getting your fingers dirty lol. Looking forward to spending more crafty sessions with you from the other side of the world (how awesome is technology these days!)
