Indulgent Layered Canvas

Morning everyone, today I am showcasing a canvas which is a project we will be creating in an on line workshop on 26th and 27th September 2020. I am showcasing my A5 Stamp Set "The Great Outdoors" #370, my A5 Stamp Set "Best Wishes" #329 and my A4 Stamp Set "Seeds of Hope" #368.
I absolutely loved creating this canvas, I was so engrossed in adding the layers, it was a very therapeutic process. We will be creating this piece in an on line class and if you would like to join me the class is £10 payable via paypal, simply email me at ; tracy@craft-addicts.co.uk.
I adore the touch of colour set against the vintage backdrop
Lots of layered elements to create a cohesive design and it is such a tactile piece.
The layered elements are set against a clay piece in the background.
Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you all for your amazing support. Tracy x x
