Before spring officially arrives tomorrow, I have a winter-themed altered canvas to share with you. I wanted to showcase the sweet angel image using the reverse side of the canvas.
The canvas is a small size measuring 6x6 inches. I began by giving it a coat of white gesso. After gluing the image onto the canvas, I covered the canvas in a variety of lacy trims from Joann's. A string of blue pearls was added to enhance the image. Next, the embellishing began. The white floral cluster is from Hobby Lobby. The snowflakes and larger flowers are from Recollections. The word "Peace" was diecut from silver metallic cardstock.
In the photo above, you can see where I used a Tim Holtz snowflake stencil and some Golden Pearl Mica Flake paste to decorate the sides and back of the canvas. If you click on each image, you can view the details better.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I do appreciate all your kind comments. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Oh Patty what an exquisite little canvas and your image sits beautifully nested in amongst the lace and pearls. Love this.
ReplyDeleteHope you are managing to keep warm.

A beautiful canvas Patty, very feminine and pretty with the lace trims and I love the snowy colours you used to reflect the temperatures you have at the moment. I hope spring days appear for you soon xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my, look at all the gorgeous lace and glitters...this is simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, It sounds like your winter is hanging on with all that snow... wow... Your canvas looks so lovely, I love lace and bling and fussy cutting.. take care in the snow!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful winter decor piece, Patty! I think it's so clever how you use the back of the canvas! Makes such a perfect little window opening and adds great depth to the design. Beautiful vintage image and combo of trims and pearls. Love the stenciled snowflakes, too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you finally got some snow in your area! I know how you love your winter snow! :D
Wow Patty, what a gorgeous reverse canvas! Love your use of laces and the flower arrangement is so beautiful!! Seems we are having similar weather again. We got dumped on, then we had a nice day and some melted, but now the temps have fallen so low that it's even too cold for ME to go outside!! Here's hoping we both get warmer weather soon. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWow! How gorgeous is your winter creation with the canvas! How creative to use the backside! It is a true beauty with the lovely image , flowers, and lace!! We received about 2 inches of snow last week, which didn't stay long. The grass is turning green and signs of spring are on the way. Temps should be in the 60's by the weekend!:)
ReplyDeleteOh my Patty! What a fancy project! Love all the lace and bling!
ReplyDeletePatty, fantastic work! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, this is beautiful beyond description! After a long month away I am so happy to be back.. and what a treat to have this masterpiece awaiting me. Every detail is perfection and I love it so very much. Thank you for the sweet inspiration! Have a wonderful day. :)
