Altered Canvas for Scrolls Works



These two 6" x 6" canvas were first painted Soft Black in acrylic paint. Graphics 45paper was cut to size. The edges were distressed using Tea Dye Distressed inks by Tim Holtz. Stamped images are by Scrolls Works stamped on kraft cardstock from Stampin'Up, then cut out and edges were distressed, then glued on to the canvas. Metal sheet was first embossed using the bingo embossing folder by Tim Holtz. The metal was then distressed with alcohol inks. Various metal embellishments by Tim Holtz were used to embellish, add dimension and texture. Metal wings are from Alpha Stamps. Typewriter keys from stash. These two canvases will be hinged together. I hope you enjoy looking at these. To see more Scrolls Works stamps,
