FOR MY MOM***

Hi everyone!! Thought I would share a little project that I made for my Mom... I used a sturdy artist's canvas, covered it with paper using Modge Podge. The flourish was embossed in white embossing powder. I used a little distress ink in Antique Linen to soften up the edges of the torn paper. The Mother sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, the ribbon from Anna Griffin and the primas from my stash. It's a very simple project but I thought using the canvas was fun because it will last so much longer and being covered with Modge Podge will protect it as well.
Have a great day everyone!!
