This is by far the total opposite of what I'm used to doing but a few years ago I was making a lot of altered projects. I recently bought the T Holtz Caged Bird Sizzix Die and that is what inspired me to make this canvas. A bit of a challenge as its been some time but boy did I get a buzz when it was finished. Its not the best of photo's I'm afraid. Stayed up till the early hours to get it done and am so pleased with the way it has turned out. Maybe I'll be making more in the future. I covered the canvas with Distress Ink Pads and Glimmer Mists. Edged with Distress Crackle Paint and went over once dried with Gold Adirondaak Dabber. Used a few Prima Stamps for the background. Die was cut with Grungeboard and coloured with Distress Ink Pad, Black/Gold Glimmer Mist and Gold Dabber. Flowers spritzed with Brass Glimmer Mist and have added Vintage Photo Distress Crackles.
I am entering this into a few challenges that I wouldn't normally do, purely because its altered art and not a cute card.

Hi Claire, well I absolutely love it. I have this die also but you have gone and really done something fantastic with it. Big hugs JO.xxx
Great canvas and I so love all the Tim Holtz range. Yes I think it was well worth the effort. Nicola xx
Oh Claire this is amazing! So arty and the end result is really impressive, gorgeous in fact! I really love all the shine and glimmer too!
I bought the very same die and I feel a bit scare to create anything with it yet.... maybe you just gave me the kick start I need!
Thanks for your message about house selling and sorry to hear you got so near to the finishing mark, only for it to fall through! Our viewing seemed to go okay last night but you can never really tell...... I'd love to be moved by Christmas but somehow I don't think so, lol!
Hugs Tara xx
Wow it's gorgeous! Love the cage and how you added the gold around the canvas.
Hugs xx

Wow Claire this is
Gorgeous,
Hugs Dianne xx :)
I am immediately drawn to anything inspired by Tim and this canvass is really stunning. I will take away your idea of the gold dabber to bring out a bit of bling. I think you have done really well and should continue.
Luv Joanne xx

Wow! WOW! Claire, this is.. WOW! What a stunning work of art, and every little detail is just perfect. I'm surprised to read that this is a different style than you're used to, because you executed it so wonderfully! The colors are gorgeous, the design is stellar, and the roses-- breathtaking! Great use of the Vintage Photo DS on the petals-- they add such a great, vintage look.
Did I say "WOW?!" Great job!
As georgeous as ever, sweetie!
