Gift for Mom

Quite a long time ago my Mom had given me some black and white copies of pictures that she found after my Grandma died. I made her a little album with some of them but I wanted to do something special with a family picture that I had found in the pile.

I took a blank canvas from Michaels and did a base coat of black paint but that felt too dark so I did a very thin coat of brown over top to soften it up. The papers are from the Timepiece collection by Bo Bunny ( I still have some hoarded away) and I layered them with cardstock to give more dimension.

The ribbon is from May Arts and I pulled it from my stash, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - their vintage colour open roses. I love the quality of their products.

The F is a small wood letter that I picked up a long time ago from Michaels for a totally different project but it worked really well on the canvas. 

My Mom loved her gift and she has it displayed in her living room for everyone to see.
