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.

This is a lovely canvas and I love that saying. A beautiful job of using those wonderful papers and the die cuts. Thanks for sharing.
So pretty, I love it.
“I eats my spinach” is my fave. This will look nice in the baby’s room.
Cute project!
This is beautiful! I love that you didn’t go all girly on it. Love you to the moon and back is one of my favorite sayings. You make my heart happy (or, smile) is another one of my favorites! My oldest grandson loves it when I tell him that he makes my heart happy His answer is that I make his heart laugh! LOVE him to the moon and back, twice!
Just love the neutral pallet. Very pretty project.
that is the most adorable little canvas. i always pass by the mini’s wondering what on earth would i do with them. ! now i know.
This is a fabulous project – I love it! Thanks so much for the inspiration Shari!!!

Gorgeous!! I love the texture and soft colors.
I’ve been wanting to try my hand at mixed-media art…I’ve even bought the canvas and the papers I’d like to use…Not sure what I am afraid of. I think I am trying to start to big – I bought a 30×40 canvas! I think I will try a smaller project and see how it goes. I love the neutral colors you used, they blend so nicely! Thanks for the inspiration!
lovely project and great sentiment. . .
