my first altered canvas

i have a display rack in my craftroom that's waiting to be filled so i tried to make an altered canvas.

i first painted the canvas with black acrylic paint, then metallic bronze here and there. and spray it with glimmer mists and water...the glimmer mist did nothing so much, so if you are doing it, just use water

then i add ribbons, my minds eye lost and found paper cut out, some prima blings and cameo...and chipboard letters of my daughters name that i embossed with espresso paint and sahara pearls embossing powder.

i love the end result
