Family Canvas

Whew....I'm sooo excited to see how my partner on the CMB reacts to this altered canvas. It is larger than what was required...but I think an 8x8 isn't big enough to EXPRESS yourself....lol. Elizabeth...enjoy  this...it's on the way tomorrow. I started with a blank scretched canvas. I used TH alcohol inks in Latte, Caramel.,Hazelnut and Meadow. I love the way it all blended soo well.The papers are from DCWV...Mariposa and Linen and Lace.  I destressed the papers edges...sanded, torn, and ripped. I painted 2 yellow photo corners to be chocolate brown...as well as the chipboard birdcage . It was sent to me in a RAK. The bird I painted buttermil and gave him a lil' blue eye. Painted the chipboard flourish a light sage. I added a chain to the bird house to give it the appearance of hanging. The large brown flower is glimmer misted with Pinecone. The feathered stick pin is from a swap...THANK YOU COYOTEKIM...and the one in the lowere lf hand corner is from another swap. Ribbon is from stash and so is the ligth brown tuelle behind the flowers.Family is cut at 3 1/4" from Cricut cartridge Lacey Labels. The frame is also painted buttermilk and was in a RAK...added 2 pearl brads and it's good to go. I'm really proud of my FIRST altered canvas...I will be doing more of them!!
