Home Of The Brave Mixed Media Canvas

 

I love Americana decor. I love flags or anything with a flag.

At one point I had quite a few pieces. We had a four-season porch and I had all of my decor on the walls. When I had to down-size after my husband passed away I just kept a minimal amount. I knew I'd never have the room for it wherever I would move to. 

This small mixed media canvas will find a home in my craft room.

 

I actually bought all the products for this canvas two years ago! When I saw this project on Tim's blog I knew I wanted to make one. Here's a link the Tim's original blog post. He has a tutorial on his blog and he lists all the products that you will need for this project. 

I have so many projects that I want to work on or finish. I now have the time to do that!

 

 

Before die cutting the stars I adhered bits of memorabilia to a piece of chipboard. 

 

 

 

 

After I diecut the stars I adhered them together. 

 

Once I watercolored the flag and the statue of liberty I was ready to assemble all the pieces.

I love how it turned out!

I didn't sew around the edges of both of my panels. I was too lazy to set up my sewing machine. I was going to use some stamps that I have that are stitched lines, but after looking at the panels I like the way they looked without stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!
