I have had fun doing this boxed canvas for the Vintage Journey Challenge where the theme is "Time Flies
I started by covering my canvas with Gesso I then added layers with Distress Stains/Distress Inks and Tim Holtz Masks following Tim's technique in the Compendium of Curiosities 111
The clock face is from the Ephemera pack the pointers and Sprocket gear were heat embossed with Distress EP
The "Time" definition on the top was cut from Tissue wrap and the butterflies are Tissue tape
I did some random stamping using the Curious Possibilities and Life's Possibilities stamp sets and Archival Ink
I added the lettering after inking with Distress Markers
The other bits I added were from my stash
The feet are the small bobbins painted with Distress Stain
I finished off by using some Black Gesso and water and flicking it with my brush another of Tim's Fab techniques
What a lovely decorative canvas and I love your use of the bobbins to make the little feet, just finishes it off.
