I covered the base, in white gesso , random swiped it with Distress Stains Antique linen and Broken China. The faces [Dina Wakley] were stenciled using Archival ink -Hydrangia. Some random stamping came next. All the stamps I used on this canvas are Dina Wakley and Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.
A bit more colour at this stage, the distress inks and Fresco Chalk paint {Vintage Lace and Mermaid] The antique linen distress stains and blues, created the patches of green.
Next some texture was added, using Grunge Paste and Tim Holtz stencils, with a little touch of White Fire gilding wax for highlights.
My main image was water coloured and layered up on recycled packaging
and a piece of stamped canvas.
