Challenges: Stampotique, Sunday Stampers, Play Date Cafe

I'm multi tasking today, I have decorated one canvas which will be suitable for three challenges, 1) The Stampotique challenge which is to think outside the box; 2) The Sunday Stampers challenge over on Hels blog which is to use a KEY in your art and 3) The Play Date Cafe Challenge which is to use the colours light green, light blue and off white.

When I think of a challenge I normally only think of one challenge at a time and I always normally think card, so this is my take on thinking outside the box for The Stampotique challenge.  I have added a KEY for The Sunday Stamper challenge and I have used the colours light green, light blue and off white for the Play Date Cafe colour challenge.

Products used for the canvas were: StazOn ink timber brown, DI inks, tumbled glass and bundled sage, Life's Journey Key, Gesso, charcoal pencil, text stamp, glossy card and Stampotique stamp Welcome Door.

I applied Gesso as a base coat for the canvas and allowed to dry.  Applied tumbled glass and bundled sage ink directly to the canvas and spritzed with water.  Added text to a few areas of the canvas with timber brown ink.

At the top of the canvas I added my own style bunting, along with heart ribbon.   I then coloured a piece of glossy card with the tumbled glass and bundled sage ink and stamped the Welcome Door onto the coloured glossy card, cut out and adhered to the canvas.

I have added a key, 'W' for welcome, torn papers and two hearts to complete. 



The 'W' has been painted with Gesso, a little light blue acrylic and highlights of bundled sage ink added.

I think this canvas would be great as an alternative to a NEW HOME card. 

Have a great Sunday,  Tracy x
