Wendy's canvas

I'm scheduling this post (and have my fingers crossed that Wendy has her canvas!!) as I'm in Harrogate taking this class with Dina Wakley :)

I really enjoyed making this, especially as it had been in my head for so long!  It was my first time using grungeboard and I just aDoRe it's texture :) 


My sewing machine had no problems going through it at all.


The flowers are Wendy Vecchi stamps and co-incidentally (and I promise, it wasn't planned!  It's scary sometimes how Julie and I are thinking similar things at the same time LOL) Julie has posted an autograph session with Wendy Vecchi over on her blog 'Julie's Open Window'!

The buttons are from my button tin ... I have LoTS as I LoVe buttons :)  I used Tim Holtz masks and stamps for the background, along with a mixture of adirondack dabbers and spray inks.


Hmm, now I need to get one of these made for me!!!

    Hi Sarah.
    Hope you're having a wondeful time in Harrogate, at least the sun's shining for you today.
    I love your grungeboard creation, those flowers are stunning and the background is fab. I love grungeboard, think it's the smell, yes I know I'm strange!!
