Mixed Media Monday: Beauty is truth... canvas



 Over at the All that Stickles blog I have posted my project for this week's link party: Anything Goes.
I made this 7x7" canvas by trying different and new to me techniques.  I had a blast.  I hope you like it.





Here is my long list of what it took to make this (just in case you are wondering):

1 7"x7" ugly canvas from a liquidation sale at a discount store that was closing
1 very big box of used acrylic paints bought at a Church rummage sale
1 stack of card stock(Staples)  bought for the purpose of stamping on but the paper turned out to be unsuitable for the inks but fine for the paint

1 brayer
2 Flower border die cutters from Ek Success
Stickles by Ranger in colours; Copper, and Diamond

2 vintage bingo chips from my stash of ephemera
1 brass label holder (Dollar Tree)
