Cherish....

I made this canvas along with the 3 canvases on the previous post.....to sell on Etsy....HOWEVER....



I fell in love with this one in particular....(although I still love the other's) as they to me at least are so very different and each mean so much for different reasons....this one I'm drawn to and find that I can't part with it...




at least not today....

Some new canvases....

I've been working on some new canvases for my Etsy shop...and FINALLY got them done...here's the first 3....

this one was my inspiration...it is in my favorite color PINK!!! I just love the little bits of ribbon and lace and the grungy rusty hanger and nails that give it extra bit of texture...I'm loving the little vintage pink flowers and the little green paper flowers they're kinda chartruese or light lime....yummy!!! I'm really enjoying this one in my living room! but I hope it will find a good home!

This one was fun because the little whimsical girl (from a Paper Whimsy collage sheet) has THE Biggest eyes!!! adorable...and the lace and the gorgeous!!! ribbons are just ooo la la!!!
I had to add something to the lace as it's sooo fine you might not notice it...so I added the little butterflies to bring your eye down to the lace to see just how gossamer looking it is....offsets those big baby blues of this darlin'...perfectly!!! and the rusty wire hanger and rusty nails...the grunge to contrast the frou frou of the rest of the piece....I just know this sweetie will find a home quickly!!!




and this little miss has Attitude (notice the capital A).... When she says Believe in Your Dreams....you better listen...hehehehhehe!!! I used my chalks and some copic markers and my white pen...to give her dress some zip...and I love these new peachy orange roses with the green paper flowers that pick up the colors in the vintage lace trim on the bottom....what texture...and the ribbons...yummo....and then top it off with the rusty hanger and rusty nails...just a fabulous piece full of cheer!!! I just got them up on Etsy....so...run on over and check them out...I have more side pics and detail shots on Etsy...


hope you'll check them out and let me know what you think!...
