I got these white canvases from Michaels a few weeks ago. They were really cheap, like $2.00 a piece. I painted them and then used my LSG Starburst Stains to glam them up a bit. The first canvas is for my classroom. I don't have anything to hang on my wreath hanger for May, so I thought I would create something.
I painted the canvas with Calypso Blue paint by FolkArt and then sprayed it with LSG Dark Chocolate Truffle. The paper collection is Stella Rose - Gertie by My Mind's Eye, my current favorite! I got the bingo card at a flea market a few weeks back with my brother. I got a bundle of them for $5.00. I love how big they are. The floral spray is from a clearance bin at JoAnn's. The large red flower and burlap leaves are by Prima and the other flowers are from I Am Roses.
I created a second canvas for my Mom. She has lots of blue and white birdcages in her office, so I used that as my inspiration. The Tradewinds matstack by DCWV was a perfect match.
I painted the canvas with linen paint and then sprayed it with LSG Dark Chocolate Truffle. The flowers are from I Am Roses and Prima. I used my Martha Stewart Oak Leaf punch to fill in around the flower cluster.
The bird feather is by K&Company. I love how it turned out. I can't wait to give it to my Mom!
Mom's canvas looks really nice. The Emily Dickinson quote makes it feel complete, too. She was so weird but in such a beautiful kind of quaint way....? It has good balance, too.
