Shabby vintage burlap panel

Ok so I've started getting back into designing and making at last, would you believe prior to making this small burlap panel on Sunday I had only made one project since before I went on holiday and that was five and a half weeks ago, eek how did that happen?


I found the panel in one of my ikea box units and the background had already been done with what looks like white gesso, torn TH paper with a gesso wash and some crackle paint through Tim's stars stencil.


The small star echoes the background and is an altered gem using decoart media paints and the vintage photograph is a free download I keep on my PC ....


 .... I used alcohol ink on a fragment to help make the face the focal point of the project.


 The quote is stamped from Simple Sayings ....


..... and hemp string tied round to add more interest.
 

I almost forgot the torn snippet of the brown card vintage lace.


Yay, I'm back in the saddle and starting to get the bug back again.


Thanks for staying with me and for popping by.
