Step by Step Canvas :)

Happy Friday everyone!! Today I'm sharing some shots of the process used to create my newest canvas! I had so much fun getting my hands dirty today...it's so hard to find time to sit down and create but when I do...I LOVE IT. Enjoy :)

Blank Canvas
Added a sewing pattern down and dotted some brown paint.

Used the end of a paint tube to smear the brown paint around on the raised surface of the sewing pattern.  Then did the same process with another shade of brown.

Smeared some yellow and then stamped some white!

I then used red ink to drip lines in the shape of a cross and then cut a heart out of burlap.

Next came stenciling the letters on! "It is finished."

After, I spayed some dye, added some white paint here and there, and then traced over the letters and lines with a black pen.  .

Last but not least, I signed and dated the bottom!

And wa la!! My finished piece!! :)
