January 2013 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year to You !

You should be coming from Gina's blog , so you've seen 44 consultant blogs so far - I'm the 45th!

Here is a 8 1/2 x 11 canvas I created using the SOTM set, clear embossing powder, and our new pigment ink pads - LOVE LOVE LOVE the way pigment ink blends on canvas! Colors used are Chocolate, Cashmere, Pacifica, Sky, and Sweet Leaf.  Ribbon treatment makes it simple to hang up using our Wide Chocolate striped grosgrain.  I used a metal butterfly brad from a previous Bliss collection of embellishments, and a smattering of the Blue Sparkles and Canvas Alphabet Letters to complete the look.

Now, I just hope my friend likes it! She wanted cool blues and chocolates to match her home decor - Can't wait to see the photo she decides to put on this!  That's the great thing about cardboard backed canvases - you can use regular pushpins to arrange photos and change them out, or you can seal a photo behind acrylic on it permanently.   I gave the roses a clear emboss coat and then sprinkled a light coat of clear emboss on the picture area while the pigment ink was still wet to give it some protection from dust and so it can be cleaned if needed :)

Hope you enjoy the post and have a SAFE and Wonderful New Year :)
