While out shopping recently I came across a pack of 6 mini canvasses all 10cm square and having started to get more "into" vintage looking craft I decided to have a go at my first one using a vintage theme.
I started by painting the canvas with Crackle Paint..this one is by Viva and is wonderful to use. After leaving it to dry overnight I then added some vintage lace and a print (by Crafty Individuals) whidh I laid on top of hand-dyed lace (not made by me but purchased on Ebay).
The next step was adding some pretty paper flowers for decoration and some pins as an added embellishment.
The tassels were the first thing I tried making using my new flower loom and these were made using perle crochet cotton.
Having made this and enjoyed the process I'm now trying to decide what to do on my next one!
As always, thanks for visiting us at IACW!!

Love this, am rubbish at vintage myself, just realised it's only 4in square, amazing, and that has to be the best crackle I've seen.
