Altered Canvas - T.Holtz.

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.
