ANYthing Goes at SweetStamps

Hello sweeties-

Today is a post marathon, so I hope you will come back check out all the fun stuff happening this week/month long. 

The first is SweetStamps weekly challenge.

This weeks theme is:

ANYTHING GOES

Now, this is where I try to take advantage of the challenge and stretch my creativity.

So this week I decided to do a mixed media collage. 

This has been done without direction or even experience, so bare with me.

I started with this 5x7 panel canvas, which I purchased from Aaron Brothers.
It's already primed/treated and ready to be painted.  I did start with applying patterned paper, but when I started applying the paint...the patterned paper just seemed to vanish!!  LOL...poof there is went!
The Dahlia flower was colored with Copic and carefully cut out. Once I placed it on the canvas, I went around with a watercolor crayon.  Then I looking at it, I realized that is needed some shine.  So I brought out my Creative Inspirations Paint and went to town.  I went around the sentiment with stardust glitter glue, to finish it all off.

Well I hope that you are in a ANYTHING GOES kinda of mood and will join us this week at SweetStamps.
