A canvas that went wrong

For this canvas I used an Art deco background using tissue paper and pva glue I stuck it on my canvas it was still a bit damp when I added my second image I think it looks very ghastly what do you think

Lotstodo canvas swap

For this piece I sprayed the canvas with shimmer mists ma covered it with PVA glue then I printed the image onto tissue paper and again with pva I pasted the first image on when I dried it the ink came through so I printed another of the pictures on to Tissue paper and laid that on top with pva and it now has a shadow in the background which I like the effect

Christmas word book

I used a new template for this book and it was a bit fragile so I backed it with gold foil

another card useing acetate

this card was made the same as the last one onley I choped a bit of the sideI must must clarify for those who have never printed on to acetate I use the printable type it is rough on one side that is the side to print on

For this card I used 2 A4 sheets of white card scored with a small margin to allow opening again I have used acetate backed with white card and gold card for mating and layering I also added a piece of gold down the margin and added a small piece of the coloured acetate lastly I added peel offs down the other side and added a bit of bling to the ends

Again I used acetate on a wite backgroundI mated and layerd it with copper blue and white then poped a peel foo round to finish the frame

Another card using acetate

All I did for this card is print the picture on to acetate and I also did the boarder at the same time then mounted them on white card and edged it with peel offs a very quick card

I think this is my favorite card

Another card using acetate

For this card I used 2 7.5"squere cards and glued them to a piece of A4 White card I then cut the frount of the right side shorter so it just tucked under thr main piece I mat and layerd the topper wirh silver and pink card finishing rith the silver I printed the image onto acetate and backed it with white card I took a inverted corner punch to the cotners and poped it onto the top I placed a large flurish peel off on the card I also did rhe inside with the same mat and layering and another acetate which is a little smaller and a seasons greetings inside

This is a xmas card using acetate

This is the inside of the card and it has come out the correct colour but the frount you will see below is not not very good as the silver card I backed the acetate with dose not scan well I also think my scaner needs a good clean
