Basketball is life

Hi Everyone

I created this canvas with a camera and a picture frame attached for an application to the Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team a little while back and I've only just gotten around to adding it to my blog 

If you can't tell I love Magical's they are awesome LOL 

The Memory Maze chipboard I used was Attitude in a circle and Square Mesh Grunge

This photo of my son was taken by a friend at our local basketball courts 

Jack eat, sleeps and lives for his basketball

 

I started off with an old camera that was going in the bin of course I had to save it

I glued lots of different paper clay shapes over the camera then gessoed the whole thing

The frame was given to me in a box of mixed frames that someone was getting rid of I painted that with black gesso

The canvas was one I had done a SHE ART project on, it was sitting in the cupboard collecting dust so this project 

is made up of recycled stuff

I started off with an old camera that was going in the bin of course I had to save it

I glued lots of different paper clay shapes over the camera then gessoed the whole thing

 I used -  red hot poker orange and cattail copper brown from the Autumn Leaves Set, tweedle dee denim from the Mad Hatter Set, bachelor button blue from the Prairie Wildflower Set, steampunk sepia and steel shimmer from the Industrial Chic Set and the clam bake beige from the Nantucket Pearls Set on the camera, all the embellishments and the background of the canvas

I wanted to have some string to my canvas so I added some water to the string then used the steel shimmer from the Industrial Chic Set to cover it completely then set it aside to dry

As you can see I used lots of different products from metal to chipboard  from Memory Maze and the Magical's show up awesome on all 
different textures and mediums

I love how it went into the cracks that I created with some crackle paste

The canvas also had lace and other bits already glued down so when I sprayed the powders they spread so nicely into all the 

crevasses and show up all the details

I also used Bavarian Blue Embossing Powder on the frame and the camera

On the camera I sprinkled the powder onto the wet gesso, it gives it a more mottled look 

On the frame I used some versamark and a texture stamp so there was a bit of dimension to it

Products I used-

Square Mesh Grunge Chipboard

Attitude in a Circle
