Love Helps Us Grow Canvas

Happy Mother's Day!

I know you're all very busy eating breakfast in bed

and being completely pampered, right? ;o)

I hope so!

So I'll keep this short.

I wanted to share the gift I made for my step-mom.

I've been obsessively watching mixed-media on canvas

videos on YouTube for a few weeks now, 

and finally decided to take the plunge and try it myself.

There's lots!

For this project I used a 10''x10'' deep-edge canvas

and added layers of book paper, acrylic paint, stamps in StazOn ink, 

Faber Castel markers, and black gel pen.

I had each member of my family finger paint a blossom

which I then turned into a flower.

Then we each thought of at least one word to describe 

my step-mother, and wrote those on the front, 

and along all four edges of the canvas.

I really hope she loves it!

And I hope each of you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Thanks for stopping by.
