<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I can see lots of things 'wrong' with her and I started getting a bit OCD about it! Then, after many reworkings of various areas, concluded she is only in my art journal and isn't going anywhere, so time to leave her be!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I've used several layers of watercolour paint to add some depth around her and then I've finished off with some rub-ons dotted here and there.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Today I have a mixed media canvas to share with a seamstress/needlewoman theme.

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To create the <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">layers, </span>I've used old sewing patterns, including the pattern<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">, instructions and the outer sleeve of the pattern. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This time she is worked in acrylics on top of a napkin covered in roses.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Back to my art journal and continuing the journey.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This girl is worked in <u>Schmincke Watercolours</u>, onto a page which has been covered with <u>Golden<u><u> Fiber Paste</u>.</u></u></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I had a bit of a love-hate relationship working this girl. The lips drove me to distraction. I went over them sooo many times. Unfortunately, I reverted to pencil at one stage and it then became too waxy to go back over with watercolour, so that it would blend better with the rest of her. Oh well.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Anyway, I have a life, so time to just turn the page ...</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello, I was just having a play yesterday.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I've decided to create some artwork using different techniques, so that I can hang the finished pieces on my <u>7gypsies photo carousel</u>. Then I can have them on display in my craft room and also flick through them to inspire me, as needed!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I recently discovered my carousel, still in its original box, in a recent craft room clear out. I bought it four years ago and remember having to hunt it down at the time, so not sure if it is still available to buy.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So this is the first piece that I have made for the carousel, and appropriately entitled 'create magic' to begin my journey.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I started off by pulling a page from my <u>Strathmore Mixed Media Journal</u>. I have literally tons (well six!) of these journals in various sizes and different paper formats. This one is from the 5.5" x 8" journal. A perfect size for practicing techniques and also I thought a perfect size for sneaking away with me on my next holiday ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I first of all covered the page with gesso and let it dry.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I then covered the page with a <u>Liquitex Matte Medium</u> and smoothed down some book paper over the top of it, ensuring it was firmly pressed down.(Secret: I use old Mills & Boon books for my book papers!).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I waited for a few minutes, and then peeled the book paper off. The exact time is an art to master, as too short and the whole lot will come off and too long and your page will be firmly stuck down!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I was left with a mixture of some words going forwards and some going backwards and some gappy bits. Perfect!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7H8J8nG0RL6mcGUCpzfHF4TV8kepfnrJfkOzEeUskgHzoVhMr4RBeCKDi-BIjxTLHxOZpTJACiWcY5QOyb6pyJAqFUIgZzqBdr552Ns8dbjq9qKIHEJwosTz4-E-fxH1BqJXNNhzAncu/s1600/IMG_2615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7H8J8nG0RL6mcGUCpzfHF4TV8kepfnrJfkOzEeUskgHzoVhMr4RBeCKDi-BIjxTLHxOZpTJACiWcY5QOyb6pyJAqFUIgZzqBdr552Ns8dbjq9qKIHEJwosTz4-E-fxH1BqJXNNhzAncu/s640/IMG_2615.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I stamped a <u>Stampers Anonymous</u> stamp down the left hand side. I then drew a line all around the edge with a <u>Faber-Castell Gelato - Metallic Blueberry</u>. I then used a wet paint brush to drag the colour in towards the centre, but not completely. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This completed the base upon which I would create my girl.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've coloured the skin with <u>PanPastels</u>. I've added detail with various types of pencils and pens.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For the hair, I've mixed <u>Liquitex ink!</u> with modelling paste and applied it through the <u>Tim Holtz ~ Burlap Layering Stencil</u>. I've then reversed the stencil and applied it to the foot of the page, to bring in some co-ordinating colour to balance the page out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And that is it! Fun!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've worked these in <u>Schmincke watercolour</u> paints. First time using! I then added the detail to the faces and hair with pens and pencils. Practicing my updos's!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Continuing with my learning to draw journey ...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I wanted to practice with my PanPastels again, loving these! And practicing my turned faces. And up flowing hair!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The face and body are worked in <u>PanPastels</u>, then a few other pencils and pens on top.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The hair was created with <u>Dylusions Ink Spray</u> in <u>Cut Grass</u> and <u>Fresh Lime</u>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've painted the background with <u>Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint ~ Lemon</u>. Then with Dina's white paint, I stenciled through <u>Prima ~ Finnabair Alpha Stencil</u>, working it vertically.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I added a few rub-ons and that completes my new journal page.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Good morning and Happy Easter!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Today I have another whimsical girl to share, being the second in my 'learning to draw' process.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I drew the girl in pencil onto a clear gesso background and then coloured all skin areas with PanPastels. My first time using this medium and I think I like them :)!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have built up her face with various pencils, including pastel pencils (another new addition to my craft room!).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The background is painted with <u>Dina Wakley ~ Midnight Acrylic Paint</u>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I thought the hardest part to do would be her hair. My intial sketch wasn't looking too good! However, in the end, it was the part I enjoyed the most and I am pleased with the result.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As you can see, my bird underwent a little operation and changed shape completely! I think I need a lesson in drawings birds!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The sentiment is from the <u>Dina Wakley ~ Scribbly Birds</u> stamp set.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">... and paint and do all sorts of things, I never knew how!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">I decided some time ago, that this would be the year, that I would learn to draw. It is something that has been lurking inside me for a while and now I have decided to get it out of me and see where it will go.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Soooooo, after quite some learning and practice, I am now ready to go public with my first piece!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was also nice to finally get a page in my art journal mucky! This is a 9 x 12".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">This new project is costing me a small fortune in new art supplies! And there was me thinking I already had everything. How wrong could I be!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my first time using watercolours also. It is worked in watercolours on an acrylic base. I have used some coloured pencils, water pencils and paint pens also. All new media for me to be working with.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately I have so many layers of paint, that you can only just see the patterned cardstock underneath.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">I hope you like my girls! On to the next lesson ...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi! You may recall this abstract mixed media canvas I made back in November.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, I didn't like the abstract-ness of it and it had a disco type vibe to me, so I turned it around and added a girl and a few rub-ons to it. Oh, and turned it into a book.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The girl was created with a <u>Dylusions Couture Collection Stencil ~ Flossie</u>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good morning! Today I am coming at you from <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/">Crafts 4 Eternity</a></span></span> where our challenge theme this week is <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Valentine</span></span>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have made a mixed media canvas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I first coloured my canvas with three rows of pink gelatos, dividing my canvas into thirds and starting with the lightest shade at the top and the darkest at the bottom.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I then created some texture using different stencils and some texture paste which picked up some of the surrounding colour. Flowers are by <u>Prima</u>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have created a canvas and used as my centre piece, a napkin which contained a vintage photo as part of it's pattern. I just decoupaged it onto the canvas.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I then stamped the words 'love' around the image and added texture paste through a stencil to get the dots. I finished off the bottom of the canvas by wrapping around some ribbon and lace.</span></span></div>

<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good morning! I am back again with a canvas that I made for the numbers challenge at <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafts 4 Eternity</a></span></span></span><span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> (where there is also a <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/dt-call-january-2015.html" target="_blank">DT call</a> going on, if you are interested!). I also took a few photos along the way, to show you how I made it.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is also my guest design piece for <a href="http://mixedmediamojo.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/mixed-media-tag-and-another-guest.html" target="_blank">Mixed Media Mojo</a></span></span></span><span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, where I just happen to be this month's guest designer.

<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And finally, this is also my piece for the <a href="http://www.arttothe5th.com/journal/2014/12/19/the-original-documented-life-the-journal-january-1" target="_blank">Documented Life Project</a></span></span></span><span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> where for Week 1 the art challenge is book paper and the journal prompt: be your own goal keeper.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've got a few numbers on my piece. My 15 is on the bottom left hand house, to the right of the pink button. Some of the buttons have numbers stamped on them too.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is how I made the canvas.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I started off with an 8 x 8 inch canvas and covered the front and all four sides with <u>Kaisercraft</u> book paper. I used mod podge to adhere the paper to the canvas and then as a seal over the top.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I then added a dollop of gesso to the canvas and then used an old credit card to scrape it over the front and sides of the canvas. The idea is to still be able to see the book paper underneath, but it is now muted slightly.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I then put some mod podge on my craft sheet and added a little <u>Distress Paint ~ Pickled Raspberry</u>. You don't need too much of either. I then mixed them together thoroughly.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="goog_290961184"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Again, using my old credit card, I scraped the mixture over my piece. Not too heavily.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello! Today I am sharing another canvas I have made following the <u>Mixed Media Studio</u> online course. This is for the third week and is led by <u>Frank Garcia</u>.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have started my canvas with a layer of vellum and then added some texture with texture paste through a stencil and sprinkled some clear rock candy glitter onto it whilst it was still wet. I then embossed some stars on and added some <u>Mustard Seed Distress Glitter</u>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Good morning! Our challenge this week at <a href="http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafts 4 Eternity</a></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> is to add lace and/or ribbon.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I have made an album with <u>Marion Smith Designs ~ Mad Tea Party</u> papers as my base. I've added an acetate by <u>Glitz</u>, which I machine stitched along the sides.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Along the bottom I added a strip of wide lace.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I made a tag from the papers and added some washi tape and a metal brad. The clock was diecut from the <u>Marion Smith Designs ~ Mad Tea Party</u> papers using my <u>Tim Holtz Sizzix Pocket Watch die</u>. Any coincidence they match perfectly?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some luscious <u>Prima</u> flowers to co-ordinate with the golden roses and green leaves on the acetate, finish it off.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">To the other side I added some crocheted doilies. Not having the right shade of yellow, I sprayed a pale yellow doily with <u>Dylusions</u> ink. The green doily was the right colour and I just added some glitter to each, to match the flowers.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hi, today I am sharing an abstract mixed media canvas I made, following an online class at <u>Mixed Media Studio</u>. The first class is taught by <u>Donna Downey</u>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I must admit, I don't think abstract art is my thing. It doesn't really mean anything too me. I feel like it is just a base and I want to add something to it, a girl or something. So expect to see it again in an altered form!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Having said that, I did enjoy the process of creating it and I learned a few new techniques. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Some close ups.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Good morning! This week at <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crafts 4 Eternity</a></span> our theme is <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">creepy crawlies</span></span>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've made another mixed media canvas.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've got lots of layers on this: Gesso, Dylusions ink (cut grass), liquitex ink (vivid lime green), crackle paste through a stencil, clear tar gel through a stencil, some stamping and rub ons. Phew! And that's just for starters.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The words: creepy crawly chilling thrilling Halloween, were part of an old stamp. I just stamped out the words and then cut them up.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The spiders webs are a <u>Memory Box</u> die which I die cut five times and placed around the canvas, wrapping them around the edges in places. The spiders were little stickers I had in my stash.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Good morning!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have made a mixed media canvas with pumpkins. I used one of the workshops on <u>Christy Tomlinson's</u> Pumpkins and Cider course as my inspiration.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For the spider's web I used the <u>Tim Holtz ~ Shatter stencil</u> with <u>Prima 3D Gloss Gel</u>. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello! This week at <a href="http://www.crafts4eternity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/r196-3-of-same-letter.html" target="_blank">Crafts 4 Eternity</a> the challenge is to use three elements beginning with the same letter. I have: white, wood and words!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I choose to decorate a wooden doorhanger.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I started off with by covering the hanger with a layer of patterned paper, covered part of it with a doily and then got to work with stencils, paint and ink.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Then I used a <u>Tim Holtz Halloween blueprint</u>, which I stamped out several times on the same patterned cardstock which I had used as my base. I cut a few layers and layered it up.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Finally I added some words with a few stickers, which I distressed up a bit.</span></span></div>
