Grungeboard and Canvas

Trying out some Grungeboard and a 6x6 canvas board. Painted the letters with Adirondack Acrylics Pesto, stamped, layered on Titan Buff Golden Acrylic paint,then dulled down with Black Soot Distress Ink.

The background paper is from The Paper Element Coffee: Cream & Sugar. I HAD to use Distress ink on the paper, of course, but the papers are beautiful! Added a few stamps and my pen work to the edges. Done!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background stamp on letters is by Great Impressions, vine and scroll are by Printworks. Numbers are unknown. The small print background stamp is Paper Artsy.
