This fortnight has flown by! Not only is there a new challenge at Frilly & Funkie, but it's already the Funkie's turn to submit their designs! Where does the time go?
Linda Coughlin, of the Funkie Junkie is hosting this time, and she wants to see you "Get Crafty With Canvas". Linda says, "I love using textiles in my art, and canvas is such a fun and versatile fabric to use. You can die cut it, emboss it, dye it by spraying or dipping. You can use it in its raw state, coat the reverse side with gesso or multi medium to prevent fraying, or use the sticky back kind. You can stamp on it and make embellishments (flowers :) with it. Oh, so many fun ways to use it in our art. How are you going to use canvas for this challenge?"
So get going on this! You still have a week left to participate, before the time passes you by. If you need inspiration, here are several eye candy fillers for you.

As you can probably guess, my project is about time, and how we choose to use it. If we could go back, boy would I do a couple of things differently...okay, several...but we can't. We have to learn from the past, and make a new and better go at the future. Time flies, so we have to be the best pilot that we can be!!!
I covered Grunge Board with Sticky Back Canvas that was cut into a square with a cut out center and onto a whole square that was cut a bit larger. |
I used a Broad Tip Water Brush to add Antique Linen and Stormy Sky Distress Stains to the clock faces of the tag. |
I am submitting this tag to The Stamp Man's Challenge of "Precious Metals", and the Sunday Stamper's challenge of "Shiny", although it's hard to pick it up from the photos.
Supplies:
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Very cool tag, I love that the little door opens to reveal the sentiment.

I don't know where the time goes either, but I've been falling behind on my blog visits - don't know how I missed this one! Fantastic tag, gorgeous metallics on the clock canvas, and I love that little card in the middle concealing its sentiment. Wonderful work!
