I've got a 10"x12" mixed media canvas today!
This started out as a Valentine's Day decor project but then because of the colors it ended up being something I am giving my 13-yo niece. Her bedroom is pink, black, gray, and white. So this will match perfectly. Plus, she kept asking me what this was for and if I could make her one!
The current challenge at The Paper Girls is to use a wooden element. So I used craft sticks to make this mat to stamp my sentiment on. You can cut these with just plain scissors. Who knew??
And I added some wooden stars as well.
This whole thing started by Mod Podging pink tissue paper to the canvas (leaving lots of crinkles). Then I sprayed gray and red glimmer mist. Stamped lots of Unity stamps. Some paint here, some modeling paste there.
Hot glued on lots of items including flowers, butterflies, doilies, ribbons and trims.
I really like these sentiment stamps for a young girl. "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are" and "You are right where you should be"

I love that this pleated mesh at the bottom looks like a tutu.
