For my project I created a canvas using one of the burlap canvas panels from the District Market collection. I've been hoarding them so I decided it was time to put one to use! The photo is of my maternal grandparents. They never went to Paris but I just love this photo of them!
As you can see I glittered up Tim's Sizzix Alterations Eiffel Tower and then distressed it with walnut DI. The trellis pieces are leftover from my April Tag of 2014. I dabbed the mirror trellis with some latte alcohol ink to add some interest. The remaining embellishments include a French railroad ticket from the new Idea-ology Expedition Ephemera Pack, a hotel sticker from the Lost and Found Salvage Stickers, a crown from the Idea-ology Adornments Regal collection, and a band from the Idea-ology Observation Wordbands collection. I mounted the photo on a piece of Tim's French Industrial paper stash, distressed it with walnut DI and the added the words from the Idea-ology Life Quotes and Words rub-on sets.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteWow Donna, your creation really is very beautiful! I love the glittery Eiffel tower and the inking on the trellis is superb. The picture of your Grandfather reminded me a little of Frank Sinatra. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteDonna...I love your burlap canvas creation! What a wonderful vintage feeling I get when I look at this! I love your use of sepia tones here. It really "makes" the vintage feeling! Your layers of torn and distressed papers add so much. Looking at your beautiful creation makes me want to believe your grandparents met, fell in love and spent their honeymoon at the Hotel Chatam in Paris! Your use of Tim's glitter on the Eiffel Towel die cut and the frameworks die cut really add some nice details! Thanks for sharing your art with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
