a canvas for my husband

Good morning all! Hope you are doing well? Well I've got something a little bit different to share with you today - its a small canvas that I have made for my husband for part of his wedding anniversary present - thats not until March 21st so as you can tell I'm getting prepared early!!! I just had to have the crafty individuals stamps that I've used on here - and the crowned rabbits of course! They're just wonderful.




The backgound was created using antique linen distress stain all over the background then I added the creative expressions clock face mask and added tea dye and wild honey to the canvas. Afterwards I used some Sheena Douglass stamps to create the words Live in the moment and the silhouette vegetation behind the ducks/geese. Finally I added the stamped geese and the crafty emblies dragonfly and also the heart plus the crafty individuals words onto the heart. Pretty simple but I just love it! I hope hubby will too!

I'd like to enter my mini canvas into the following challenges:
