Home is where the heart is-Altered Art- possibly??

I thought there would be a flowers prompt in the 'Something from [almost] Nothing class........this is perfect for me.......I have to admit I've dozens of flowers.......though in mitigation........ I do use loads of them on my cards......you may have noticed.....but thought I'd do something different with this prompt.
I had a canvas waiting to be used in my stash.......so decided to make a piece for the wall.

I'm quite surprised by this....not pretty or cute at all!!!!! It might even be altered art.......sort of!!!!!

The flowers are mainly Prima ones I've had for ages......I like them......but whenever I've tried to use them.....they never seem to match......but work well on this, I think.

The 'HOME' chipboard letters were glossy flowered PM ones......don't know why I bought them......but remembered you could use alcohol inks on glossy stuff.....so they've been altered with oregano,mushroom and terracotta inks.......love them now.

The canvas was distressed with 'antique linen' and 'old photo' inks.....and the edges rubbed with gold and green metallic rub on.

The picket fence is a Magnolia stamp.....watercoloured....and cut out.

Used up some paper scraps and chipboard for the house....and stamped flowers on the roof.....then added dimensional sepia medium to them [looks far better in reality than on the photo]. Stamped Tim Holtz images on the house.

Used distress inks on the chipboard hearts........and the sepia medium round the edges.

The background papers are 7 Gypsies.

Even dug out some very old alphabet stamps for the writing.

And if you like altered art....have a look at this blog....she makes some wonderful stuff....has amusing posts.......designs for Craft Stamper....and has even been left a comment by the great Tim Holtz himself!!
