Canvas

This is a 16 x 20 canvas that I did at the Cozy Crop House this week. I started by adhering several different tissue papers for the background. I then put a light coat of gesso over the papers. I drew the vase, painted it with acrylic painted and then used a Tim Holtz stencil and molding paste to decorate it. I then stenciled flowers with acrylic paint in the background. I added prima flowers and metal butterflies.

Super Baby

I am making thank you cards for a baby shower. The couple is into superheroes and their reveal party was Wonderwoman vs Batbman. So, superbaby was the perfect theme for the cards.

This flower teapot was fussy cut from fabric. The background is paper.
