For a Special Woman

Crafty Cardmakers this week is having a challenge with the theme of "for a special woman".
our sponsor this week is:



I made this mixed media canvas of a special woman in my life, my grandmother. The picture was taken in 1916 in Ontario when she was 16 years old.  That is her behind the wheel of the car. 

I wrapped my canvas with a some pretty lace I found at a thrift store and painted it  with gray gesso. I used a combination of blue glass beads, and  chunky silver deep impression embossing enamel along the side of the canvas and down the centre. I used alcohol inks on my die cut gears and added the date, lock and key to finish the project.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Please stop by our challenge blog to see the cards and projects that the design team have created to inspire you.
