Heart Canvas Art

 
Hey Everyone,

I really need to apologise for the shocking quality of these photos and the lack of a "how to".
I think I was so excited to be doing this little makeover that I totally forgot to take photos...

Anyway moving right along..... I had this canvas above the dining table - I think I'm kinda done with Frangipani flowers in the living area. 

I knew I needed some art in our bedroom as the walls are pretty bare.
 

The "theme" for our bedroom is hearts and when I made over the toy test into a cupboard and used a stencil type stamp on the front door - I decided to use the same heart to stamp onto the canvas.

This is where I stopped taking photos!! 

So pretend you are following me when I say all I did was tape sections of the canvas using the blocks already on it for a guideline. Painted each section and then stamped the heart in a contrasting colour on to each section.
Ta-daaaa!


Then no matter how many photos I took of the canvas up on the wall I could NOT get a good picture.


So out of sheer frustration - I'm letting it go and saying - trust me, it looks really good in our room

Take care

  4. That is so cute ~ great idea! I have a painting above my sofa in our living room that I am NOT a fan of. It was suppose to be temporary, just filling the large empty space. 7 years later, it's still there and I have yet to find anything I love enough to buy. I have tried to think of ways to up-cycle/re-do...maybe I can do something like this! Thanks for the inspiration!!! To be continued...:O)
