Day 267 of 365 (Sept 25)

Altered canvas from a workshop at Stampadoodle presented by Debi McManus... a fabulous instructor. It's using the Tim Holtz papers, and various ephemera and dood-dads supplied by Debi, and has beeswax as one of the layers. I LOVED the class, and will be doing more work in this format. 


This is just showing the layout, a good portion of the embellishments aren't attached yet in this photo and have changed position. :)
