We Could Be Heroes

Hello and happy Sunday!

I want to share a tiny canvas that I made.

Tiny as in 4" x 4". 

It's so cool!

Check it:

I've been wanting to use these stamps for a while, but wasn't sure what to

make with them until I saw this month's

challenge at Viva Las Vegas Stamps.

I broke out some green paint and some funky stencils and had a ball!

After prepping the canvas with a coat of Gesso and drying, the lighter green paint was 

painted on. I stamped the sentiment onto tissue paper and adhered it with matt medium.Then that funky circle stencil was used with the darker green paint. Once that

dried I doodled around all the circles with a F-C PITT pen. I used my finger

to smudge Staz On Jet Black ink around the edges, then adhered the David Bowie image

again with matt medium.

Lastly, I used a stencil to add the hash marks with embossing paste.

And yes, all the sides are painted and stenciled also!

As I'm typing this, it just occurred to me that it was two years ago on

January 10th that we lost this amazing artist,

so I'm just going to leave this here:

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
