Hello and welcome to todays post for
and it's a pretty special one.
My son in law turns 50 soon
so I went all out and made him an 8x10 canvas.
As you can see he is a car buff; likes to
restore old cars and this one in particular has had
so much work done on it, tinkering to no end
and it is a credit to him the time (A LOT) he has spent
getting it to where it is today.
The need for speed has taken him to try drag racing
and has been quite successful doing so.
Anyway enough of that -
there is so much going on here so I will
fill you in as best I can with products used and
some photos along the long road.
Started my canvas with gesso and stenciled.
Adding some grid chipboard to the sides and
lots of texture and colours with
Distress Grit Paste, Sand Paste,
Lindy's Magical's and Brusho's.
Adding dry wall tape, postage tags,
metal embellishments from my stash,
chipboard numbers.
Working out what to use
and went with this
If you look closely you can see a dymo cut 1965
(the year the Ford was made)
Car photo here is just on photo paper as a guide.
Have added Art Alchemy, Cosmic Shimmer
and Imagination Crafts Startlight to various items
including the chipboard 50. Tim's Quotations
I thought suitable for the project. I added
acetate to the front of the photo after I smudged
one and scratched another. Adhered with
appropriate brads and embellishments.
Here's another photo of my finished canvas
a little bit lighter in colour!
A time consuming creations but so fun to see it
come together so well. Hoping he likes it!
It's on it's way for the Birthday Boys 50th
on our Remembrance Day - November 11th.
Hope you enjoy looking at all the bits and bobs
I added here. Love reading your comments.
