No card today but....

Good evening dearest bloggers, sorry I've been awol for a couple of days but been a bit busy with the kids and garden work.

I don't have a card to share today but I thought I would let you see another creation that I've made.
I first made one of these canvases, well two actually they were twins, for a close friend of mine who had a much longed for healthy baby boy and girl last year.


I loved it so much I made one for Maya's nursery.

It started life as a plain white canvas which i sponged with pink emulsion paint, then distressed the edges with a pink dew drops ink pad.
I then covered a wooden letter M, that I bought off ebay, in scrapbooking paper and then cut out the rest of Maya's name using my craft robo. All the edges of the letters were glittered and stuck onto the canvas.  To make it more secure I stapled the wooden letter through the back of the canvas.

 
I then made the paper flower following a youtube video, inked it, glittered it and sprayed it with cosmic shimmer to within an inch of its life!!LOL!!
I also added woc flowers and martha stewart butterfly punchies.
The little crown with her name, dob and time was cut out using a craftwork cards plasma template, and you guessed it, it was also glittered!
 
 

Well thats all from me today I'm off to make some cards in peace and quiet. Hope you like this creation, i'm thinking of making them to order what do you think?  I welcome any comments, good or bad.

Love and hugs
