Christmas Angel Canvas

"She was happy to be herself"

  And now for something completely different! I finally did it! I completed a canvas art piece! I have been wanting to try this for a long time, and I just needed a push! A whole "different ballgame" this is! Luckily I saved all my acrylic paints from abt. 10 years ago, when I was into painting those plaster ornaments, Old World Santas, villages, etc. I stored them in a couple of large plastic containers. Still good! Didn't use hardly any paint on this one, but did on the others I made.

  Thanks to a local paper craft store, The Cutting Garden, I took a class taught by Rebecca, who showed us how to make this fun canvas "She Art", which Christy Thomlinson has made very popular. I love her art!
  Since this class I have made several canvases for gifts, which I will post after Christmas. This one is hanging on our wall. The background is Christmas paper, which looks like weathered wood. Love it!

 When I got home I added this TH Tattered Poinsettia. I lathered it with DI Rock Candy Crackle Paint.

The tricky part was adding her hair, free hand! 

  Getting things done. Will post Christmas cards later in the week. Looks like a green Christmas here.

i made it myself!
