CC3: Altered Burlap Panel

Hello Lovelies! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy! I am hopefully still asleep when this post goes live - I will have been out on Friday night with the PTA for a meal and a few drinkies - so I'm hoping for a lie in - I doubt I'll get it but you never know!!! Still the day is going to be quite peaceful - the only thing we're doing is going to see the BFG for the matinee performance - the girls are in a production that we're putting on in my village so they will get to see how its done more professionally!!

Today I have an altered burlap panel to share with you - its the latest challenge for the Compendium of curiosities 3 challenge. As always there are two prizes,the first is chosen by the DT and is a fantastic collection of Tim’s products, courtesy of Tim himself and Mario Rossi. 
The Funkie Junkie Boutique
The Funkie Junkie Boutique is back to sponsor Challenge 6, and lovely owner Linda Coughlin is offering a fabulous $25 shopping spree to one very lucky CC3Cer! For a chance to win this prize you need to link your project to the CC3 challenge page and mention The Funkie Junkie Boutique in your blog post. Be sure to check out the shop– it’s great, and stocked to the brim with all our favorite crafting goodies!
Okay dokey - here is my panel - I'm not overly happy with this but I don't have time to do another just now - I bought a pack of two so when I get back from my holibobs I will do another one although it will then be too late to enter into the challenge!!!


I used the technique given in the book and followed it completely. In addition I used some TH papers and distress paints, some TH tissue wrap and numbers and dylusions sentiment stamp.


Here's something I am happy with - I did my onion harvest yesterday and here's the evidence:

Thats all for today - hope you have a great Saturday! 

Big hugs

  6. One of my favourite teaching sayings there Rachel! It looks great - I'd love to see it from face on to get a proper look at the far side. Most impressed with that onion crop too - Le Tour may have been and gone but we can still show the French we know our onions!!! Have a great weekend. Jenny x

    A great crop of onions, we picked our first runner beans on Wednesday and will be picking tomatoes today - it's so good when the crops start coming in isn't it.

  16. Beautiful Rachel, you do altered and mixed media projects so well. I think I am a little scared of them. Great crop of onions too.
