"Faith" & "Hope" Canvases

Hi everyone! Lynn here with some altered mini canvases. I know that really I should have made a set of 3 (one for "love"), but these will have to do for now!


 I had a great time mixing old and new on these.  For old things, I used a paper doily, and a probably-10-years-old dimensional sticker from K&Company. I am glad I am finally getting around to using it!  For brand new things, I used the resistable heart, canvas clock, and my favorite new toy--the Vintage Chipboard alpha die for the letters--which were all Christmas presents to me this year.

A few notes: I didn't have any banner pieces or wings, so I did those freehand on book paper, but I think they turned out ok. The only problem is that they are a bit thin. Also, I love that butterfly sticker and I am glad it could get some use a decade later :)









Supply list:
an assortment of paints, gesso, Mod Podge, Vintage Chipboard Alpha die -Tim Holtz, Resistable canvas clock by Prima, flower by Kaisercraft, Wooden letter from my stash, ribbon from my stash, Color Shine by Heidi Swapp (Primrose on the tissue flower and Chartreuse on the canvas clock), Distress Ink (Vintage photo on the clock), Perfect Pearls Mist (Gold on the "faith" flower), Mister Huey Mist (Pretty Pink on the heart), Heidi Swapp resistable heart, Vintage paper doily, dimensional butterfly sticker by K&Company, tissue flower by Michael's

I hope you enjoyed these, and maybe they inspired you a bit!
