Home is Where the Heart is

I thought I would share a canvas that I created for my Etsy Shop. I actually ended up selling this canvas to a neighbor! Well, an old neighbor who moved across the river, but he's still a neighbor to me! I was stoked that he wanted this canvas because it really didn't get many views or hits in my shop. This was one of my favorite home decor items that I made, and wasn't even originally going to sell it. However, my walls were really starting to get crowded! 

I used some Glitz Designs papers that I got from HappyNScrappin' for the background along with some acrylic stamps and paints for texture. Acrylic paint was used around the edges of the canvas to give it a border. I really didn't want to use such bright colors on this canvas like I normally do. Maybe that's why this one wasn't such a popular one? I don't know. 

I created a canvas out of paper and distressed the edges with sandpaper. The letters are some of the hundreds of Thickers that I have on hand. :) 

The heart is a piece of felt that I Mod Podged down and recovered to harden it. It really darkened the red felt by doing this. 

Another angle.... 

I hope you all are having a fabulous week... it's almost over!! Are you ready for the weekend?? 

All papers used for this layout are from the Love Games Collection by Glitz Designs which you can find at HappyNScrappin' at a great deal!!! Be sure to check it out!!
