Anything Tim

Hi Everyone! I would like to say a warm welcome to all my new followers

 and to say that I am very flattered to all of you who follow 

me old and new. I still find it all very humbling. 

I am still convalescing and not getting much sleep so doing a lot of 

blog hopping. I came across the challenge at A Vintage Journey  

and thought I would enter this piece.

I made my own little canvases by wrapping canvas paper round cardboard

and priming with gesso, then swiping with texture paste.

Once dry I sprayed with distress ink in frayed burlap and Iced spruce.

Next I stamped the boy from Tim's Stamp in black archival ink .

Where the texture paste hadn't dried fully you get a slight imprint,

I quite like this effect.

On the slightly bigger canvas I prepped it the same as the first

but put the texture paste through Tim's layering stencil.

Once dry I painted it with pumice stone distress paint

& brushed vintage photo and black soot across

the surface as  well.

The ruler was made using a wooden garden seed stick which I 

stamped with the Tim's Ruler stamp in versa fine black ink

and clear embossed it. I then  coloured it

vintage photo with distress ink.

A fuse wire, metal clip, die cut cogs, small clock, larger clock, crackle accents &

 a stamped ruler from my stash complete the top canvas
