DAY OFF CREATION..



Hello Everyone...

My day off today..overcast and a bit chilly, so I thought the weeds could wait till another day and I played most the day in my craft space, after some chores..only a few mind!..

And I made this Canvas...



I really like this one..I didn't think too much and just let it happen..

Splattered some paint around after sticking the corner paper down...added some moulding paste through the brick wall stencil...lace and washi tape along the bottom..beautiful window from WOC.....and an overload of flowers and pearls..




Love this window...I bought several of them in different designs...

The Maroon coloured paint was a fluke by mixing up colours, as I only have water paints in primary colours..so that was lucky as it matched these flowers from my stash.



I was inspired by this gorgeous verse..it was printed on the blackboard at my course I'm going on, so I wrote it on a sticky note and found it yesterday stuck on the back car seat..[ I look after my notes don't I ]...

The Dragon fly was a die I won over at Without words..

So that's what I did today...had a great Friday off...eggs on toast for tea and now off to chew on a Mars bar...

It sounds like you had a lovely day off and mmmmm, now I fancy a Mars bar!
You make it sound like such fun to create these canvases and they turn out so stunning...I think I would spend way to long fiddling with it if I tried!
The rich tones of this design are really lovely and the overload of flowers and pearls is just perfect...you can never have too many pretty flowers :-)

Big hugs, Kat xx

The first thing that struck me about this beautiful canvas was the gorgeous colour! It's perfect with those deep maroon flowers! Then had a closer look to appreciate the wonderful texture and that lovely sentiment. I love the way the splashes of white paint 'lift' the whole design! A very productive day off Chrissy!
