My first canvas


Good Morning and happy MONDAY! Yes you get to start the week off with wonderful me. Today I am excited and would really love your feedback. Today I am sharing my first canvas piece. I have been watching Limor's classes and decided to give it a try. Definitely, turned out a little differently then I expected but it was pure trial and error with lots of fun.
For this projects I used the Love of Butterflies set, tissue paper, Archival Ink, gesso, matte gel medium, assorted sprays and mists, and some embellishments for texture.

First Istamped out butterflies all over the tissue paper.
