Canvas For A Friend by ~Donna

Hello my peeps. Wow... 2 posts from me in the same week. This must be a record! I've been crazy busy in my studio this week and I have a canvas to share today. I made this for my neighbor/friend because it is her birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Adriana! 

This is a 9x12 canvas that I decoupaged with vintage book pages then did layers and layers of inky-painty-goodness. After I got the first layers of color down I decoupaged a couple paper flowers on and added even more layers of Adriana's favorite colors.

 I love the quote and all the textures.

Here is another close up of the layers. You can see the crackle effect here.

And one more close up of the layers.  You can see the bubbled up effect here.
