Over the Limit

My project today is for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge  Paint it Up. My project started from a piece of muslin with white acrylic paint smeared over the surface.  I grabbed a piece of muslin in the midst of project to whitewash a cupboard door.  I was excited to see what I could do with my leftover muslin scrap. 

The theme for my project was inspired by stamping the number 65 in the corner using black ink. My middle daughter has just gotten her permit to drive and has been begging to drive everywhere and I think that had me thinking speed limits, guardian angels and cars.

After the number was stamped I traced circles around the numbers using a black marker and punched two holes to allow me to string the twine onto the faux tag.

I stamped the harlequin pattern in the background using black ink. I stamped the time piece with wings two times to create a frame for the sweet girl image.  I stamped the card on white cardstock.

I framed out the girls face using a time piece stamped frame.

 The girl is stamped on white cardstock and colored with color pencil.  The wings are misted in coordinating colors.

I stamped a row of numbers along the left side.  I used a strip of filmstrip stickers in the background behind the car. The car is stamped on white cardstock using black ink and colored with the blues and greens and touches of white. 

I finished the piece by layering the muslin with images onto a piece of corrugated cardboard.

The background is torn and painted with white acrylic paint.  I added a piece of twine to create a hanging.

I added a few charms to the piece for texture.  The sentiment is stamped on a piece of tissue paper spritzed with glimmer mist. The edges are distressed with a touch of brown dye ink and white paint.
