This project grew and grew! It started off as an idea for a card, then became a scrapbook page then ended up as a canvas. I seem to have so much sewing related stuff of Tim Holtz, dies, layering stencils, embossing folders and stamps. Always an inspirational place to start.
I used Wallflower paper with a sewing image, then stencilled Measured with gloss gel paste and inked Latticework with Mown Lawn and Vintage Photo.
I hand sewed the zip to get more texture and pattern on to the project. I used Sewing Room and On the Edge dies and layered them with more paper, muslin, lace and ribbon stained with Crushed Olive, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo. I dry embossed parchment paper with Pattern and Stitches Set then inked with the same colours and used it to layer.
I added all sorts of embellishments and a definition of sewing.
The project then got too big to assemble so I painted the back of a canvas with Crackle Paint, and stencilled the canvas.
Touches of Treasure Gold were added here and there for sparkle.
I will enter it into A Vintage Journey Challenge, All Sewn Up. I hope you enjoyed looking at it, not sure where it will live, maybe it will be a present for a friend!
Please leave me a comment, I do appreciate it.
What a fabulous canvas, so much to see, love all the details you’ve incorporated. x

Oh my gosh Jan this is just an amazing work of art. I can see how you say it grew from a card and ended up as a canvas as you have included so many wonderful elements and techniques to create this beautifully collaged piece.
Thanks for linking to ‘All Sewn Up’ at A Vintage Journey.

An absolutely terrific page… I’m glad you let it grow as it wanted to! Gorgeous colours, and I love all the details – the zip at the centre and wonderful golden accents. Delicious! Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.

I love your sewing mixed media canvas…sew full of creativity. I love the needle stuck in the zipper 🙂 and the scissors cutting the cheese cloth. How fun this entire piece is! If I had a sewing room, Id want to hang it there with pride!

A stunning canvas with so many wonderful detailed pieces. I especially like the positioning of your scissors through the soft muslin and your accents of Treasure Gold. Thanks for joining us at AVJ and good luck.
