Hi! I wanted to share with you a canvas that I have altered. I am in love with how it came out!
I started the 6x8 canvas by covering the board with some wide lace from my stash and layered on some texture past in the corners. Then I went to town using bits and pieces that I've had left over from different projects.
Isn't it amazing what a coat (or 2) of white paint will do?? Once it was base coated I went in with ivory and pink shimmer mist and highlighted everything. I did use a paint brush to apply for more control.
Once that was dry I lightly brushed some Sparkling H2Os (Chestnut) over the background. I think it really made the lace and texture paste stand out.
Finally, I couldn't finish the project until I used some of the amazing Pinque Peacock goodies that just arrived! I think the stick pin was taylor made for this canvas and the bottle caps are holding my DIY dew drops perfectly!
Thank you for stopping by! Don't forget you can always find me on:
