Rusty Canvas

I love rust, for years I've collected rusty metal items from barbed wire to old oil cans.  I was tickled to see the challenge on Simon Says Stamp and Show was RUST!  I made this altered 12x12 stretched canvas for my Best Friend. I used acrylic paints, distress inks, Tim Holtz Dies and lots of Tim Holtz Grungeboard to create this altered canvas. I think I need to make one for myself as well.   I'm entering this into the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge


Thank you for looking!

  2. Michelle, I really like your canvas. Very cool Tim Grungeboard pieces on this! Love your rivets and your "soldered" background. I also like your design and how you've achieved that really rusty look. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
