I wanted to do a canvas for today's project.  I had something totally different in mine when I started this but as I was looking through my stamps, I decided I wanted to do something entirely different.  Funny how that happens!

Stamped face on

Well, I say finished project but I think I may go back and do some more shading on her face as well as in her hair.  I want to hang her in my craft room when I' done.  I kinda like her!

  14. This will be such an inspiring piece in your studio! I was thinking how cool it would have been to have 3 on your wall to show the progression - the first without flower, the one with flowers and the one you plan to shade more!! Too late now but I think I may try that with something I do in the future!! Thank you!
