Canvas Art

 
Wow guess what I have managed to do something for me!!! I have tried some canvas art. With this one I just covered the canvas with gesso then red acrylic paint. Around the edges I added some bronze paint then some darker areas. The heart has been die cut out of a piece of fabric using an Xcut die called Homespun Heart. I then put some of the paint on this too - lovely inky fingers. I have added some Frantage glitters and Mahogany embossing powder. The flowers have been cut using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die then put brads in the middle. The butterfly is a Memory Box die called Vivienne and used this to cut out the background in a dark brown glitter card. The stamp is one from my stash that I won several years ago now. I have also used a stencil from Dylusions called Diamond of a Border and the bronze paint.
 
Here are some close ups.
 

 
I was inspired by the artist over on Paperartsy, Jo Myhill. She has done three projects so I have tried to take some ideas from them and came up with this.
 
I am therefore entering the challenge there:-
 
Paperartsy - Challenge by Jo Myhill,

I really hope I have time to do more of this as I really enjoyed it.
 
Hugs

A FEMININE THEME

and don't forget the sentiment.

I have coloured her using Promarkers with a bit of sparkle.

The shabby check was from a free paper pack and the paper for the flowers is from a Debbie Moore CD not sure which one though. I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Birds and Swirls on Coordinations card and then used gold leaf on top to show off the design. The gold ric rac was from The Range and the sentiment is from a Papermania set that isn't produced anymore! I also forgot to mention the little red gems in the middle of the flowers and on two corners.
