I have made this canvas. I recently "discovered" Claudine Hellmuth whilst perusing craft books on Amazon and bought Collage Discovery Workshop.
The canvas was first covered with a sheet of piano music ( a love song, of course! ) before I added gesso, acrylic paint and tissue paper. Then I added "us", with book page upper body as per instructions in Claudine's book. I added a tree cut out (that was intended for another project but didn't make it on there ), some Glitz roller stamp, the two love birds in the tree and some distressed inky edges. Lastly some stickles for sparkly shoes and diamond necklace and "all you need is love" stamped discreetly at the bottom.
It still feels a bit bare and sparse for my taste but I hope he likes it. Next project is a little card to go with it. Or maybe two cards seeing as it is our wedding anniversary the day after Valentine's day. So, what have you made for your beloved ?

I like it Ifa and I'm sure he will too. I've made a picture too, it must be something in the air :)
Aw, that's lovely Ifa :) I might make a card but I've ordered him a book from Amazon this year.
Love it Ifa :) I've nothing for my beloved as yet! It was his birthday only yesterday and I've not given any thought to Valentines...
Ah, that is so cute! Hope he liked it! I haven't discovered Claudine Helmuth yet.. I'm still struggling to get to grips with Tim Holtz.. and Dina Wakley.. I love all that collagey altered art stuff but I do find it really hard!
