Thanks for all the great comments on the "craft gone bad". Yeah, they just need a little more tweaking I think. But you guys are so sweet!
Here is what happened yesterday. I was very honored to be asked to make some art canvases for my bosses, friend Dana.
Missy Dana is quite the diva and is celebrating her 50th birthday. My boss wanted to use the canvases as a center piece on the table. She got some great pics of "the princess" and we used those as the basis for the art.
This is my favorite one.
Great paper (Webster's Pages), gives it the fun look that I wanted.
This one is similar.
She loves music, so this paper was perfect in style and color. Since I did these at work, I had to use what I had on hand. I found some crayons in the office and they were great for a burst of color here and there. Got some "bling" from next door for just a fun touch.
Sis provided the snarky saying on this one. Pretty funny. Specially since my boss is in retail!
Divatude. You can't really see, but she has a crayoned rose tucked above her ear. I finished these up with a rubbing of MicroGlaze.
My boss made cute place markers by using one of the crowns as a templet, blowing it up in size and then cutting several out. They turned out really cute. The perfect whimsical place cards.
I hope Miss Dana has a grand evening and a very, very happy Birthday. I was very happy to play just a very small part in the celebration.
Those are so fun!! Beautiful!
