The three canvasses I am working on came wrapped in plastic but held together with some corrugated card. I'm loathe to throw away some of the packaging items come with so I have cut out some leaves using the cardboard packaging. I then gave them a coat of white gesso and used the Infusions to colour them.
These will be used on the canvass which I have used some texture and script stamps on yesterday. I've also gone round the hearts with a grey distress pen, a little more blending I think is required to get the effect I'm after, but it's coming along.
I'm off down to Scrapbook Magic today where I hope to make some Christmas cards. I wasn't able to go to the class last week and I really liked the samples Margaret had made. While other people are doing the scrapbooking class Margaret has kindly said I can make the cards - should be another fun day.

Looking beautiful Linda
I'm like you Linda sweet friend! I don't like throwing some of the pretty packaging some supplies come in, so I upcycle quite a bit - ridiculous, given the size of 'stash' I have - but I get a kick out of creating with 'rubbish'. Canvasses are coming along, it's exciting watching the growth of a new piece of art! Have a great time at SCrapbook Magic! See you soon. Hazel xx
