Christmas is all in hand and sleeps til Santa are being counted. Just two more weeks of school to get through, family present deliveries to make and Christmas cards to finish off. Oh, and an excited little princess to keep amused. I'm sure the time will fly.

I am showing a small canvas I made for Remembrance Sunday last month.
I started by using small portions of an old Woodware text stamp randomly on the canvas. I then added a thin coat of white gesso over the canvas. Once the gesso was dry I rubbed my Antique Linen Distress Ink pad across the canvas to give it a vintage tinge.
I added some small ripped up pieces of music paper with matte gel and then texture paste through AALL & Create stencil #17.
I glued the poppy image to the centre of the canvas and gave it all a coat of clear gesso.
Using Derwent Inktense pencils Saddle Brown, Bark and Charcoal Grey with a brush and water I painted shadows around the image, music papers and under the stencilled lines. I also painted around the edges of the canvas to finish.
Now it's your turn to have fun and create your mixed media projects. You can enter our challenge as many times as you like. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.
