Challenge 7 at Art Creations Friday was to use their beautiful background. The Tuesday challenge at Created By Hand was flourishes..I have combined the two on an ATC canvas..
I wanted a gift box to put Mum's christmas present in and couldn't find anything that I really liked.So I bought an unstained pine box.I lightly stained it with burnt umber, added the image from this weeks challenge. I used several layers of full gloss varnish then added the embellishments.I finished it off with another coat of varnish.It is really what I wanted.
