Oh Say Can You See

In honor of the upcoming 4th of July holiday I thought you would enjoy this adorable patriotic canvas that I discovered on the Want 2 Scrap Blog.

Keely started out by painting a 10″ x 10″ canvas with black paint. Next she inked the edges & began layering the patterned papers using the “Pride” Collection by Authentique . Keely stamped & pieced together the adorable girl image with the Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamp by Julie Nutting. Her skin was colored with Copic markers.

Cut out a large star from cardboard. The star was painted with DecoArt Dimensional Effects Texture Paste & stamped with Heartfelt Creations–Burlap Background texture stamp. After allowing the paste to dry, Keely inked over the design.

The finishing touches were the beautiful Want2Scrap Silver Rhinestone Swirls & inked Want2Scrap Chubba Bubba – Corrugated Alphabet Letters.

Love all the wonderful texture that the Want 2 Scrap Bling & corrugated letters brought to the project.

My hope is that you will be fearless when it comes to your creativity, to be brave enough to try new things & most important to have fun with your art.

Thanks for the nice visit & I look forward to seeing you back soon.
