Sending you Sunshine

Hello and Happy Memorial weekend to all in the US.  I have a super short post for you this morning as my DH is taking me out to breakfast ans is waiting ever so patiently on me to get this posted. A few weeks back O bought some sticky back canvas ATC's and couldn't wait to try coloring with copics on it.  It didn't come out as well as I had hoped, the copisc tend to bleed.  After coloring the daffodils I was stumped on how tomake it into a card.  So this image has been sitting on my craft table just waiting to be made into to something.  For some reason in the photo I noticed that the pearls don't look straight, I assure you that they are.  I managed to work in four challenges into this card which I have listed below.   One of the challenges is a shabby chic card, well this is not my style and I really struggle with it.  I am not so sure that this is very close at all, but it is what it is.  I hope you have a  fabulous weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.

  2. Brenda this is so pretty!! I've not tried my Copics on the Sticky Back Canvas but before I paint on them I use Gesso to prep perhaps that would help. You need to let the Gesso dry thoroughly, I think they recommend 24 hours. I have some already prepped, I'll try it out and let you know this week!

  3. Tis gorgeous Brenda! I love the sticky back canvas too, but lik eyou said, the copics do bleed a bit, BUT, kinda gives it a water color effect at times! And I sure love how this turned out for you!
