Hello!
Whew! That was a long title! I have difficulties when trying to come up with a title for my posts. I usually go with the image and if there is a sentiment I incorporate that. Sometimes when I am stumped I usually end up using the sentiment. How about you? Do you have a hard time with titles for your posts? I'd love to hear how do you come up with your titles? =D
Today's share is a little canvas project on a clear acrylic background. I decided to try my hand at my version of mixed media. I know I'm late to the party as it's all the rage, but when it comes to new things I tend to wait and see before doing. (haha) Here is the beginning of the project:
This is a mini canvas colored with Prima Color Bloom sprays in cobalt, summer sky & glistening waves. The hanging heart banners & Love sentiment are from La-La Land Crafts. The other hearts were punched out with a Fiskars heart punch & an EK heart punch. I also stamped some hearts with a heart background stamp. The image I chose is one of the newly released stamps from CHA, Paper Doll Marci Spring Time also from La-La Land Crafts. I paper pieced her jacket after stamping the same heart background on to an extra stamped jacket; fun-cut it out and coloring with Copics. The rest of her was so easy to color. Here's a little close-up of the right side of the canvas showing off all the details.
The red patterned paper underneath the acrylic was a great find at my local scrapbook store. I think I bought the last two sheets in the tray. So happy I have an extra sheet for next year. I used spray adhesive to glue the paper to the acrylic and it looks seamless. Last I added a red and white polka dot ribbon.
So that's what I've been doing. The is the second canvas I made, I'll share the other one in an upcoming post as well as some of the make & take projects from CHA. For now it's time to sign off. Thanks a lot for stopping by and thank you for the lovely comments. Big hugs!

Who would have known this was your way of "jumping on the band wagon" with this cute mixed media project. You did a great job on this and the image is adorable...LOVE the hanging hearts!
What a sweet treat bag and beautiful Valentine canvas. Sorry I haven't commented too much...traveling and my computer was not connecting to the internet for awhile.
