Mixed Media Mini Canvas

Do you have a quote that you have used a lot over time? I have a couple of favorites…

“That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more” Popeye.  

And this one… “I love you to the moon and back again”.

My Popeye quote may end up on a canvas someday but for today as a gift to my son, I’ve created this canvas for my grandbaby Melody’s room. I really like the 6×6 size and think it would look really cute on an easel.

I just love neutrals and this canvas came together really quickly. I find when I’m designing in my comfort zone, it is extremely easy! I’ve used the Tim Holtz Letterpress alpha’s along with some Engraver collection paper from Prima.

I typed my quote out and printed it onto card stock. This is an easy “cheat” when you have something personal to add to your projects.

I wanted to think outside the canvas and adding these hanging die cut stars was just what I was looking for.

I’ve shot a video of the entire process, you can view it below or on our YouTube Channel HERE.
