Altered Canvas

 
 
I decided to do this canvas from the reverse side - I used tissue wrap to cover the canvas before colouring with Distress Spray
 
I added the photo which I had fussy cut and then aged and inked with Vintage photo distress ink
 
 
I die cut the flower from patterned paper using the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die. I grunged the flower up a bit and put a brad through the centre. I placed this on top of an inked doyley and added it to my frame
 
I finished by adding metal charms to the opposite side
 
 
I am entering this piece in the following challenges

    Wonderful reverse canvas and that flower is so luscious! What a way to recycle your canvas, turn it around and use the backside. So cute that the newspaper above her head says "Amusement" and she has an amused expression on her face! Awesome sauce! Thanks for joining us at Mixed Media Mojo for our April Upcycle/Recycle Challenge. Hugz. ~Niki

    What a great canvass Hilda, I wouldn't have thought of using the reverse but it works really well

    Really nice canvas, I like how you've used it on the reverse side and balanced up the flower with metal charms on the other side. Thanks for sharing with us at Rhedds Creative Spirit - Good luck - Steffi :o) xx
