Happy Mother's Day!

This is an altered canvas that I made for my mom. She loves tigers, so when I saw this pic on FB, I knew I had to use it for her.After using gesso on the canvas, I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists to color the background. The title is a Silhouette studio file cut with the Cameo. MOM is embossed with the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. I got the leaves and cute paw print ribbon at AC Moore.

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day 2013!

Happy Friday!

January and February are full of birthdays around here. Here is an altered canvas that I made for a friend who is one of those birthdays. This is her pup, Juno and a sweet pup she is!

I started with painting the canvas with acrylic paints; added patterned paper from the DCWV Pets Stack, sanding the edges for texture; and then covered chipboard shapes with some other patterned paper from my stash and sanded those, too. The dog bone with the words around it was cut with the Cameo, using a file from the very talented Chirs Durnan at Visual Designs by Chris.

I wrapped it all up in a pretty organza ribbon and added some bling and a metal heart up in the corner. My friend did love it!

Hope everyone has a fab weekend!
