This 12 by 12 Found Hope piece was created using papers, stencil and elements from the Club Scrap August Sunflower collection. I used white Gesso and acrylic paints to cover much of the paper, but have some sunflowers still showing through. The Sunflower stencil was used to create the sunflowers with watercolor crayons and Distress Stickles inside the word Hope.
Below is a close up picture of a button and flower also included in the Sunflower collection, which added a really sweet touch.
This is already up on the wall, thanks for looking!
Enjoy,
Cathy
A side note, I have wrote the letters on the paper, they were not cut and added back on. I wanted to do some fancy hand lettering and decided to go with block letters- Cathy
