Hello friends :) This is a quick post today fro I am just barely making the cut for Unity's FWF. Today I am sharing my very first canvas....I made it for my husband for his birthday. Being a Michael Jordan fan his entire life, he still loves and collects stuff. I drew an Air Jordan symbol freehand and then painted it to look like a classic clothing tag from his line of fashion. I added "circa 1985" to symbolize the year the line first came to be. I then decided to add a grunge like border with stamps down the left side. This is where Unity and Ippity enter the picture. I randomly stamped quite a few different Unity and Ippity stamps from different sets, as well as a few from other manufacturers. I will have to edit my supply list in later as I seemed to have misplaced it. i was really nervous that I was going to mess this up....the drawing especially, but I really ended up liking how it turned out. My husband freaked when he saw it and that was such an awesome feeling for me...seeing him so excited...like he was 11 all over again :) Here are a few pics of the step by step process....including a closeup pic of the rough pencil drawing:
