Well, this is my first try at a canvas for the Mix-Ability challenges. Dini has asked us to play warm off of cool or vice versa today.
Products used:
Paper: none
Ink: Distress Inks
Stamps: Donna Downey/Unity Stamps and Tim Holtz
All the other stuff: canvas, Folk Art acrylics, Liquitex acrylics, Faber-Castell big brush pens, Dylusions ink spray, Perfect Pearls mist, Distress Paints, Gelatos, TCW templates, brushes, glazing medium
As this has been a process for me, while there aren't a lot of details on my blog, you can see a larger version of my canvas there.

It's beautiful! I love the flow of color in your background, and the subtle stamped words and textures. Thanks for the heads up about the challenge! Missed that. Thanks for playing along!

Lee-Anne, this is just fabulous! It works in every way - the colors, the placement of the flowers, the placement of the sentiment, everything. LOVE it!
