Good morning all.
It's time once again for a new challenge at Imagination Crafts.
Our theme is always anything goes and the winner will receive a £40 voucher to spend in the Imagination Crafts Shop.
I've done a canvas this time, although my brain wasn't really in gear when I started!
I've done a canvas this time, although my brain wasn't really in gear when I started!
An 8x8 canvas painted with black gesso, then roughly coated with red acrylic paint. I then used the Time and Motion stencil with white acrylic...if my brain had been in gear I'd have used texture paste!
Next I added the Skateboarder stencil (not yet on the website) using Black Stars Sparkle Medium...I really should have added everything else first! After allowing everything to dry I added lots of bits and pieces...bottle tops, clothing label, buttons, cogs from the inside of a tape roller, tapestry plastic and some wooden embellishments from Prima. These were all painted with white gesso then various acrylic paints. Take Risks sentiment is from Visible Image and I stamped onto tissue paper. After raiding hubby's toolbox I added some silver washers to finish off.
I'm quite happy with the finished results though and eldest is going to hang it on his bedroom wall...so it can't be that bad lol!
Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from my team mates, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I think that it's worked so well because you just did it instead of thinking about it and planning it. Awesome work Carol, really brilliant Karen xx
