 Hello,

Welcome and Happy New Year! New year new challenges, be sure to get your craft own, and join us over at the Arty Diva Challenge Blog

New Year, New Challenges ! I have never worked with a canvas before, and vowed to add to my Design Team Tool Box this year!

I have to admit from a very structured designers point of view, this was a challenge for me and I welcomed it with unstructured point of view, hard, but I love what I created! 

Here are the beautiful images I had to work with,

After adding layers to my canvas, I fussy cut out the images I chose to work with, added pop dots and adhered them to the canvas. Now came the fun part, embellishing! Anything goes in my book, as along as it fits the color scheme. 

I added flowers, and bits of steampunk gears, as it fit the theme. I though the rough jute used as the hanger added a bit more texture that added to the finish project, Thoughts??
