I know you all have heard of the *Graphic Fairy* and if you haven't you need to visit her...
The site is full of clip art images and vintage printable's...which are great for any crafter...I found this adorable vintage design...
I grabbed my 8 x 10 canvas board and printed out the vintage design...
I thought that the best color to give it the vintage look was to do the background in Ecru...
Once I gathered all my supplies I was ready to go...
Having such beautiful graphics can make for beautiful art pieces...It was challenging for me but I had a lot of fun recreating something and making it my own...
TAA DAA Here's the completed painting...I'd say not bad for doing a painting that is totally out of my comfort zone...
Here's the original next to my painting....
If you get a chance check out "Graphic Fairy's" website...I'm telling you she's got some good stuff :-)
Did I also mention I need to get back on the ball and blog on a continuous basis like I used to do...I just don't know how my days fly bye like they do...LOL!!!
*HAVE A SUPER WEEK*
Great job! Good to see you creating and blogging again...have missed you ;} Of course going back to school full time does take up most of your days now...lol I'll be glad when I'm done purging so I can play and create again...arrgghhh
