'Lets get Shabby' Challenge No 12...

Well another challenge over at 'Lets Get Shabby'...

This month the challenge was to use paint, lace and chipboard on your project...You can find the details of the challenge here....http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2010/05/challenge-12.html

Sometimes you just know what you want to create and yep this was one of those times....A dear friend of mine that I met through work decided last week to buy her own coffee shop and finished up work on Friday.  I will miss her dearly as we use to have so much fun together at work BUT in saying that I wish her the very best in her new venture.   She isnt able to change the original name of the shop she bought so I decided to make her a little canvas just for her!!!!

I started with a blank canvas which I painted in blue , added a crackle medium then painted it all in white.  I love the effect it achieved.  I then went mad with impasto, p/p's and a whole heap of bits and pieces.  I have used lots of chipboard pieces and also a piece of pizza box that I also painted.   I have used lace everywhere from pieces to using lace to create a couple of flowers (which I also dyed!!!).   I am happy with the result and I know my special friend just loves and cherishes the piece.

Thanks to the DT at Lets get Shabby for another wonderful challenge.

This is my finished canvas piece......'Welcome to Angie's kitchen'.....

A couple of close ups......

Take care ....

Look forward to the next challenge ....

Thanks for looking....
