Mini in a Box-theme Beach

 I painted the box & hotglued small shells around on the "sand".  It helps with the clouds & sand to use a sponge  The top just has a piece of burlap glued down with shells on top.

 The mini is made with 3x3 envelopes using Laura Denison's stack the deck method.

 It fits right inside my small box.  All that I have to do now is add my photos. It's going to hold up to 34 3x3 pics.

"Dream" Mixed Media Canvas

Multi Media Art on Canvas

I found the pattern for the girl on a blog. I saved it to use & now can't find the blog so I can give her credit.

I love making cards & layouts.  I've combined my love of that on my 2nd love-canvas.

I started by painting my canvas with acrylic white.  Then spritzed pink, blue & green mist sprays.  

I used a sponge to soften the edges & blend.

I traced around my pieces of the lady & cut them out. Distressed all the edges.  I cut some petals & made flowers. Found some clear buttons in my stash & added to the middle of them.  Everything was glued with mod podge.

I think it turned out beautifully!
