and more...

Is there a name for this style?  Again, I wish I took a better picture of this one.  It started with a 4x6 stretched canvas, acrylic paint, distressed papers and one of my homemade grungepaper flowers.  You can't see it, but I just a red small print fabric and glued it all around the edges.  The red really goes well with all of the yellow and golds. 

More bunco gifts

Now, let me apologize up front for the blurry pictures.  I had all of the gifts wrapped and then remembered that I hadn't taken pictures for all of you, so it was late at night (bad lighting), and I was in a hurry so my hand wasn't too steady.  This one is a 4x6 stretched canvas, painted with acrylics, Stampin' Up! rub-ons and a copper and grungepaper butterfly that has been embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. 

Bunco gifts

It was my turn to host bunco this month, so I decided to make all of the gifts.  This one is an 8x8 stretched canvas, painted with layers of acrylic paint, an embossed stamped tree on the right, a grungepaper butterfly all blinged up in glitter.  The flowers and leaves are also made with distress inks, Studio 490 stamps and Tim Holtz die cut flowers.  I think this flowermaking is addicting!
