I made this canvas for one of my best friends ;-)



The lovely Shari Carroll designed a beautiful canvas for the Create Event and I was lucky enough to make one too. My best friend loved it too so I made this along similar lines for her.

 I started with a 6x6" canvas and primed with White Gesso, I then splattered with Tumbled GlassBlack Marble, and Pale Tomato inks. I then used White Embossing Paste a Splatters Stencil and a sprinkling of Pumice Stone Distress Glitter



I used a Butterfly Duo Stamp and Embossing Set  a Sizzix Hearts Bigz Die  and a Scribbles and Splatt Die to decorate the canvas. I coloured the butterflies with Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Spun Sugar and Festive Berries Distress Inks. 



I stamped text from a Friend Definition Stamp on the yellow butterflies, I used the embossing folder that comes with the die set and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder on the pink butterflies and a Dot Fade Stencil, White Embossing Paste and a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter on the aqua butterflies.  To finish I added a 'Painted Hello' die cut, dabbed with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint, I love the effect this gives and think it is a perfect finishing touch :-)

I hope she likes it!
