I said I would

A few weeks ago Clearsnap had a Twitter chat with Susan Weckesser. It was GREAT! During this chat we got on the topic of texture paste. I've had it for a while but I was afraid to use it. Susan really encouraged me to give it a try. I told her I would for her challenge and here it is....

Since I don't have any tools to apply the texture paste I used the tools I have all the time...my fingers. We talked about that too ;)

While making this I realized a couple things. 

The canvas I used was from the Michael's dollar bins. It originally had fruit or something on it. Although ok for altering it's not taut enough to stamp on. 

Which leads me to my next discovery. 

After stamping the image with StazOn I then colored it with Big Brush pens. Since I used a clear stamp I figured I'd stamp over the the image again once I finished the coloring. I guess I didn't wait long enough because instead of adding the black back on the image it took off the brush pen and left white lines. I actually like it that way.

Hope you'll join in the challenge on Susan Weckesser's blog.
