Today my project is hopeful...it has been two weeks since the attacks on Paris, my son says it is too soon to be hopeful.  I already had my "mourning" post.

 This is an 8x10 canvas project.  One of my first attempts at a canvas.

The fleur de lis started as white chip board.  I used distress stains and then shimmery spray ink.  I finally added a medallion in the center.  I also used the same shimmer spray on the clothes pin, flourish, and the entire canvas after I mod podged the paper on the canvas.

Ingredients:
My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas collection
Recollections fleur de lis tape
Sizzix die
Cricut Eiffel Tower & flourish
Little B gold sticker
Tim Holtz tattered garland die
Judikins clear detail embossing powder
Anna Griffin crimson ink
Great Impressions sentiment stamp
