Time for a new challenge and it is an Anything Goes Challenge with a twist!  Please check the rules here.

and the twist is:

USE SOMETHING OLD FROM YOUR STASH


 So I found these vintage placemats in a box a while ago and hoarded them to use for a future crafty item. I decided that it would make a good canvas...just a bit of sanding and gesso and I had a repurposed canvas!


Here's what I made:




I used different Mixed Media techniques here using Texture, Spray Mists, Stencils (Microbial by TCW), stamping and 3D elements.


The flower stamps I got at a craft swap so I don't know who they are made by, sorry, but I stamped them in Archival Black and used my Faber Castell White Stampers Big Brush Pen



Here's a closer look at the embellies:
