Just for Fun

One of the teachers at my daughter’s school was especially kind to her and I wanted to send her a little thank you, so I made a little grunged-up girly canvas…:) I attached some ribbon (from Prairie Bird Boutique) on the back so she can hang it or just leave it as is on a shelf….hope she likes it.

 I didn’t realize that part of the heart had popped up, so that will be glued down shortly. hehe

This was not actually a quick canvas (they never are LOL). I spray-painted the blue, then sepia-ed the edges with various browns. Then we (Little Bit made her own canvas) cut out vintage text and cardboard for the hearts. The letters were lightly stamped on with foam stamps and then roughly traced and painted lightly with acrylics…I intentionally left it all a little sloppy…looks better in person and as a whole. 🙂

I like making things for people like this, but since it is quite time consuming, I try to save them for special people—like amazing teachers. 🙂

The blog candy/freebie grab is still going on. You can check that out below.
Plus, if you haven’t been by the challenge blog, you really ought to go check out the Fabulous Inspirational Fridays. 🙂
