Mixed Media Canvas

I have another mixed media project to share with you, I made this over a week ago and I am just now able to share it.  This 8x10 canvas was made using an old photo of my maternal grandparents in the mid to late 40's.  I am lucky to have gotten all my mom's old photos before she passed away. There are so many more photos in the box that I want to use on different projects, I can't wait to put them on some fun projects.  

As you can see, I used several of Mona's beautiful new mixed media designs from My Favorite Things.  She has a line of stencils, stamps and matching dies.  Here I used Blooming Roses stamps and dies, Concentric Circles and Graduated Hexagon stencils, all designs by Mona.  Then I used the Hybrid Heirloom Rose in the aqua color and the Leafy Flourish in sheet music print.  All are linked below.  The beautiful pale paint colors are from Martha Stewart.

The burlap leaves were cut using some fabulous new paper from DCWV that I picked up at JoAnns the other day.  It has some backing on it that makes it super easy for die cutting.  Don't you just love the clean edges of the burlap?  The Hexagons were sponged on using Momento Ink, I love the grayish color it gives from being sponged on top of the Glue n Seal.

The photo above shows this pretty resin corner that I painted some gesso on and then rubbed Perfect Pearls in pearl on top of that.  Below you can see that I placed small dots of Liquid Pearls in White Opal on the corners of the photo and the cheese cloth is from Making Memories and I picked that up at my local JoAnns as well.
