Hi everyone! Today I am sharing with you a layered canvas I made for my friend
from Australia, Di Garling {who many of you online scrapbooking ladies also know!}
This went up on the 2Crafty Blog today HERE so please refer there if
you are after any of the names of the pieces I have used or what I
have done to treat the chipboard pieces.
I purchased several of these 4" square wooden sentiment boards when I was
away on holiday recently. They were very reasonably priced at a craft store
& I knew that they would make the perfect addition to my canvases, that are
better with quotes than photographs, when making them as gifts, which I often do.
I simply adhered the board & canvases together with hot glue, using my glue
gun, before I began, then, for the background of I created a water-colour
effect with several different shades of green mist.
I love quotes. I live much of my life holding onto scriptures & the words
of the wise & find that having affirming statements where one can
see them makes for meaningful daily reminders.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT TODAY!
I really appreciate it!!
