I've created an artsy canvas for Creative Expressions this week using Tim Holtz Classics 5 Stamp Collection and Classics 4 Stamp Collection.
The backdrop is painted with Mushroom Eco Green Acrylic Paint and then dry brushed with touches of Pure Copper.
The face stamp has been stamped onto tissue with Black Archival Ink and then adhered to the canvas.
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Texture Paste has been applied through a Large Polka Mask before applying the coat of paint. Once everything was dry I have also added Pearl Moon Metallic Gilding Wax to highlight the wonderful texture. Random stamping has been added using the background stamp from the Classics 4 Stamp Set using Black Archival Ink.
I've also added a mini canvas for further dimension and added Fancy Key Charms for further interest, again rubbing over with the wonderful Pearl Moon Metallic Gilding Wax to highlight the detail.
Buttons have been added around both images, painted with acrylic paint and sprayed with touches of Dylusions Spray. Once again I highlighted detail with the Metallic Wax. I have also added ART using Signmaker Alpha Parts.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Have a wonderful weekend. Tracy x x

Good morning sweetie, this is just stunning, can you pop to mine and teach me :0) hugs Pops xxx
I love this. It's fantastic. I love those little round metal things. I thought it was a stencil/mask (and it might be) but what are the metal bits? The keys by the other canvas is really clever. I went off on a day dream wondering what they would look like with the keys as eyes. Eyes are the keys/doors/windows to the soul. I might have to try it when I get this stamp, which I love. You did an amazing job.
Fantastic piece! Valerie
Stunning, Tracy - this button extravaganza is totally brilliant! Gorgeous silvery metallic patinas, and I love the gentle blush of colour you've used to warm the whole piece. Amazing make!
