So Sentimental

Another fortnight has gone by so it's time for another Craft Room Challenge. The theme is So Sentimental and it has been chosen by the lovely Mervi. She would like to see texts, scripts, messages clearly on your projects.
Tando Creative are the sponsors for the challenge.





I decided to make a canvas for my DT piece.



I adhered a torn piece of a book page to the canvas and then I painted the canvas with Fresco Finish paint and stamped various images. I used a Imagination Crafts stencil and DecoArt Modeling paste for the leaves. When it had dried I painted the leaves and using my finger put some Treasure Gold metalic wax on them. Using my finger I added the modeling paste to the edge of the canvas and  when it had dried I added some metalic wax.
I embossed some Frantage embossing powder over some Tando Creative butterflies and adhered them to the canvas. I die cut a label with a Spellbinders die and stamped the sentiment.
I used PaperArtsy stamps for the background and the sentiment is an Artistic Stamper stamp.
Here are some close ups of the butterflies.



The rest of the design team have made some fabulous samples so why not visit the Craft Room blog and take a look.

I'm entering my canvas in the Country View Crafts Butterfly Challenge.
