    Love is in the air

    love canvasWe celebrated our 20th Anniversary this weekend. It was wonderful to reminisce while spending a quiet day together. With it being Easter weekend, a get-away will have to wait for a later date. That’s ok..then we get to celebrate twice!

    I was totally inspired to create this canvas on Saturday morning. It all just sort of came together all at once.

    Supplies:

    • 6×6 canvas
    • tissue paper
    • rubber stamps (mostly Stampin’ Up!)
    • Staz-on ink
    • Liquitex matte medium
    • Liquitex Basics–bright aqua green
    • India ink
    • scrapbook paper
    • canvas letter stickers

    love

    T Tuesday: canvas edition

    I’m a little late for T stands for Tuesday again. I went to set mom’s hair this morning then stopped by knitting for a bit. Those ladies are so funny sometimes! The stories they have to tell…wowsers…had me blushing this morning. HA!caribouYesterday I had mentioned that I’d been painting a lot. In fact I was almost late for my study group because I lost track of time.

    heartstringsThis one I call Heartstrings. It didn’t come out exactly like I had in my head but I still really like it.  It’s on a 12×12 canvas. There are many layers and lots of texture.

    ocean abstractThis is the one that had me almost running late yesterday. I hadn’t intended on an abstract landscape but that’s how it ended up. This is a 6×6 deep edge canvas. I picked up a 4 pack at Micheal’s last week. It’s a perfect size for me.

    bold intentionsThis is my favorite. I call it Bold Intentions. I used a palette knife to create the red drag marks down the left.

    I’m heading to lunch now with a friend so I’ll be back to catch up with my blog friends later this afternoon.

    What are you doing today?
