I love to mix it up with a mixed media canvas to put up somewhere in the house or give to a friend to boost their spirits. On this particular canvas, I started out with a base of Tim Holtz's Tissue Wrap which due to all the layers I used you really can not even see-- and I'm ok with that. I next added several layers of Faber Castells gelatos smooshing them around and then spritzing to get a little more of a blended affected. I added some of Claudines Hellmuth Gesso with a Prima stencil to get some dimension and let it dry. I used several stamps to give to a layered effect which are difficult to see in the photo and then spritzed away with several different Dylusions, Perfect Pearls and Glimmer Mists. I added some leaves after altering them a little with some Distress ink. Then comes my favorite part of the project--The Pumkin. I found some small pumkins at the dollar store and I cut one in half and covered it with Rangers foil sheets and performed a mini version of Tim Holtz's the Great Pumpkin and adhered it to the canvas. If you have not seen last years Great Pumpkin Challlenge, I'll add the link-- however I feel as though you may have been living under a rock because it is amazing and you are in for a real treat!!!

Now this weeks Simon Says Challenge is requiring that you use text and as you can see (or barely) I have used Tim Holtz's Text Tissue Wrap as a base to my canvas. So what better thing to do than get a two-for out of this project. A great project to decorate that house with this fall and something to enter in a great company challenge--What?? You didn't know about this challenge--well check out the deets down at the link below!!!
