I made the background of the canvas (about 12" x 16") with a mix of white gesso and various acrylic paints. The two corner pieces were left over form a card from a set bought long ago.

I used two That's Crafty stencils, randomly dabbing the top one with sparkle medium champagne and the bottom one with sparkle medium cinnamon. I inked the Just Rite cling Fleuriste Newsprint background stamp with versafine onyx black and stamped on to a piece of white tissue paper. I then wetted around it with a paintbrush to tear and adhered to the canvas with mod podge.

Flowers from Hobbycraft, the white ones touched with some of the cinnamon and champagne sparkle medium.

I created this layout on 10x8 size canvas pad..
I have used Tim Holtz stencils for background texturing, Tim holtz Distress spray, Heidi swapp spray. I have chosen Papericious brand pattern papers(proud to say that it is an Indian brand)...my mixed media essential kit from Prima and lots of embellishments. 

Picture of my mother her in purple saree gave me some ideas.

My mother loved doing stitching ...I remember, when I was a kid, most of my dresses were made by her. She is very creative and I feel creativity is in my genes..So I have used stitching machine,scissors charms and a lil "mom" "Handmade with love" charm.
