I made this card using some of the canvas a friend of mine was throwing out....good recycling eh??
My friend affectionately known as "Aunt Rose" is 86 years old, legally blind, has had cancer and a stroke but with sheer determination using a magnifying glass and surrounded by her OTT lights, she continues to paint. She currently paints with watercolours to make cards to sell for hunger relief. AMAZING woman.
I have some of her cast off canvas and plan on using them to create some new cards.
Hope you like it.
