Happiness

Hi there scrappies and friends!
I have been having so much fun with these canvases, just trying out different ideas that come to mind.
Here is my entry for the competition in Scrap Around the World for the month of June and here is the link....

... and here  is the mood board

The quote is what inspired me, as it is something I remember  was a lesson learnt in my younger years. I also noticed traces of a tea party in one scene so based it around that theme.
I had the thought to make the canvas into a sort of magical tablecloth look with vines etc.. but trying to stick to the mood of the summer colors on the board.

                                              So here is my canvas....the size is 31x40

It is summertime here now in populated Taiwan and on trips to work I would pass beautiful luscious vines of Morning glories throwing themselves over the golf course walls along the roadside, which gave birth to the idea of trying to find a way to mimic them, so those on the canvas are the 3 that turned out the right size although not as graceful and soft it was fun giving it a go. The books I also made using texture paste for the pages and the covers are painted cotton fabric covering cardstock.                    

     ....and here is a close up of the photo I put together in PS with my happy wee one and my tea pot.

                                                         
                                          ...and a few details embedded to the canvas.

Some ingredients to this canvas are dried vines, wire, crushed eggshells, crackle accents, glossy accents, lot's of paint, lot's of glitter, the paper leaves are also upraised and patterned in texture paste, there is also a lot of gold paint all over plus clear paint, and the roses are from I Am Roses.

Hope you enjoyed this bit of canvas... have a great day!
