Hello my dear friends, I have been creating again! With working full time it has only been 20 minutes here and there in my work space but I enjoyed making this altered canvas so much! I followed the instructions I received in the wonderful Smitten Class I took from dear Nancy Maxwell James. The class project called for a cabinet card, but I was so inspired to create this piece with the beautiful ephemera pack I purchased from my dear friends Jill & Lemay of the Junkin Gypsies! Their ephemera packs are just overflowing with some of the most lovely images, vintage paper goods and so much more! In this project I used the vintage paper lace doily, vintage french book page, the beautiful little girl image and the sweet vintage calling card. I also added lots of vintage lace, buttons and ribbon flower from my collection and added the frame from a collage sheet around the little girl. The gorgeous pink seam binding is also from the Junkin Gypsies. They have such a fabulous Etsy Shop filled with some of the most beautiful treasures!
This altered canvas was created from my heart with much love as I was thinking of my very dear & sweet friend who I will be sending it to.
This is Little Miss Abbie. :)
