Canvas Art using July's Inspiration

Hi this is Marivic, giving Helen's challenge a try this month and also killing 2 birds with 1 stone and making this project for Zeus and Zoe Challenge.

I made this Art canvas following Helen's inspiration photo and Jaz Lee's OTP challenge requirement.

I used 12x12 canvas which I misted I primed with gesso, misted with Tattered Angel's vintage pink. In the background, I used modeling paste mixed with Martha Stewart's acrylic paint and using brick stencil and script stencil. I also used journaling stamp using gesso on the bottom of the canvas.

Just added a few bits and pieces from Zeus and Zoe Custom Kit. The image is from a 2012 Calendar. I hated the fact that I had to cut the calendar, but I love the image so much, it is worth cutting it. Thank you to Calendars.com and I found the same calendar and got 3 more so I can use the images for this purpose, forget about birthdays and appointments!!

These flowers are my latest project lately. I spent so many hours making them it gives me so much pleasure after the seeing the final result. I hand-cut each petal, painted them with Luminarte, hand-curl each petal and glue them all together.

So far, I've done a bouquet of them...I made over 10 flowers in different colors. I enjoy making them, so relaxing for me, makes me forget about stress.. .even though it takes me about 3 hours to make each one of them.

Here is Helen's Challenge again:
