I know I promised weeks ago to post this banner, but I got so excited about Creative Chemistry class that I forgot! This is a smaller canvas piece than the last one I made. This is about 7 inches long and the other panel was 12. I really enjoyed working on the smaller size.
I used some vintage German Scrap on the top. It's such a wonderful heavy paper and there are a million shades of gold in there.
The background is Tim Holtz tissue wrap ironed on to the canvas. I colored the tissue using distress stains and inks. I flicked black and white acrylic paint all over it. Isn't this girl just lovely? I printed her on cardstock and fussy cut her out. The butterfly wing is from a Dover clip art book. Mirrored stars are colored with Mushroom alcohol ink for a vintage feel.
Once all my pieces were glued down I went in with my fude ball pen and added some scribbles.
Here is the completed banner one more time.
What have you been crafting?
