Canvas primed and prepped with some texture gel.

A little distressed..

Well folks I've been having some fun with paint last night and tonight I'm working on the base canvas to mount everything on..  so far I've coated it, got a base layer on and have added some random texture gel.  Now to start building up the layers! 

More of a side view

Tonight's dilemma..  what to start creating now???  Lol.

Am so glad I chose these 2 wooden chests to play with as they certainly got the creative juices flowing. 

Products used on this project were:
Distress stains
Inka Gold
Art Parts
Idea-ology pieces
Kraft resist paper
Tattered floral die
Hat pins

Hope you like my creations and thanks for stopping by to take a look. 

Happy crafting

Love these words

Better view in daylight

Sneaky peek

Top of chest

A little monochrome

Sorry for the poor picture but can't get a decent one in daylight of the whole box so have done my best with this one and managed some better quality close ups.

Experiment time..

Wondering how metallic crackle will look on kraft glassine..  sure hope it works as could be a pretty cool result if it does. 

How my wee casket is looking so far.  Working in Craft World today so need to wait till tonight before I can finish it.

One painted and one stained..  shame I stained my fingers too so need to go scrub them as working in shop tomorrow.  Lol.

Time for fun..

Well folks there's been a whole load of work lately and not a lot of personal play so here goes..  off to make a start on these little chests.  No idea where I'm going with them but think a layer of paint is a good place to start.  Wish me luck.  Lol.
