It is definitely one of the most extensive pieces I've created in a while. I started with a canvas that I painted light yellow. The back line of mountains was cut from a great map of London that I found at a thrift store. The second set is blue fabric that I lightly streaked with gray and black paint. For the third, I cut out bits a pieces of songs that somehow related to nature and pasted them to cardstock, then cut it to achieve the desired shape. The fourth set had a background of grayish-purplish paint. I watered down some black paint and covered the gray paint, then blotted off most of it with a tissue. For the green tree line, I cut a few pieces of white fabric, then painted each with some combination of green colors. Around the border are words or phrases that I cut out from magazines that fit in with the theme. Then I used dark blue paint to create the quote. The whole thing was covered in Mod Podge. Ta da!
I was really really happy with the result. Pretty impressed with myself, actually.
Keep craftin'
