My goddaughter just turned 20 yesterday and I wanted to make her a canvas (although it ended up being a wooden board!) with the title from one of our current favourite songs - which also just happens to be some great advice!
So I used the Explore to cut some vinyl which I used as a mask and painted this:
Because I hadn't done any masking/painting for a while I practised on this board - which is a sentiment I found on a Tim Holtz stamp. Again I used the Explore to cut the vinyl mask and then slapped on the paint!
In all honesty - I often think my love of the 'vintage' look is really born of my inability to paint neatly!!! :)
