Powder Room Canvas Re-Do

This canvas was purchased a few years ago from Home Goods.
Forgot to take a before pic
but it just wasn't really what I wanted in the powder room.
I wanted to add more pink/feminine in there, wanted a monogram on it but wasn't sure where I was going with this.

So I started by just painting over the canvas with browns, creams & pinks, the messier the better, there was no plan here, I just went with it.
The flourish is an old Jim Holtz-Ideology Mask which I love love love
See where the flourish kind of ends?
I messed up some how so I needed something to cover it so.....
















Then I cut out my monogram w/ my cricut on cardstock & chipboard then deco'd them together to give it a little dimension and added the primitive heart (to cover the mistake),
cut from an old paperback.
The quote i stamped with ink, cut the words out & inked some more...
inky & messy is the look I love















The quote says
"together is where your heart sings loudest"
love that
not sure where i got the quote...if you know, let me know!
















Added a coat of Mod Podge & it was done
I love the way it turned out!

My Attempt at Subway Art

These are my sisters' Christmas gifts-
We were trying to scale back as much as possible & only give to the kids
But they always do so much for my girls so I wanted to give them something
meaningful & unique

This is my first attemp at my own unique style of
Subway Art

I used favorite song/artists for the quotes.
We all love music so much

This one is George Michael's "waiting for that day"

These started out as canvases that I purchased at Michaels-3 pack for $8.00 i think?
I painted it with acrylic paint.
I dont have any organized way of doing this I just go.......
For this one I used blue & white to get the weathered look
I cut lyrics out with my cricut & stamped some too
Covered it all with a coat of Mod Podge













































This one is "all you need it love" by the Beatles!












































Now looking back at this, I think I would have added more words to them
But I love the way they turned out
I love the pop of red I used with the green & the blue!

Let me know what you think!
