This is my altered burlap panel for CC3C #6 based on page 39 of Tim's book which is sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique. I have been playing with a lot of texture in my journals using joint compound and chose to try a couple of techniques on my burlap panel. My background has the joint compound pressed through a stencil (one is a bubble layering stencil by Tim Holtz and the other is a Crafter's Worshop Balzer Bits stencil) which was colored with both Distress Paint and Stain once it was dry, and I also used joint compound on muslin strips to create the dress skirt for my embellished vintage image of the beautiful Lily Elsie. I let the edges of the skirt drape over the end of the canvas - I'm not sure if I should leave it that way or cut it off level with the edge of the panel. What do you think?
Here are a couple of close-ups of the texture. I highlighted the high spots with Old Silver Inka Gold rub - it gives a cool luminance to it.

Oh my goodness, is this ever lovely?! I adore how you created the dress with muslin. Such a great background as well. Thanks so much for playing along in the CC3 Challenge. Well done!
I saw your canvas on Linda Ledbetter's blog. It's very compelling. I love the textures. They convey the spirit of the picture nicely. Very well done. Congratulations on art well done.
Fabulous!! Leave the skirt billowing over the edge, IMO. It says to me bohemian abundance and abandon. LoVE thiSSS!
