Creative with Canvas

I've been on a mission to find a way to decorate my guest bathroom.  Here is my shower curtain:


I was looking for a way to compliment the colors of the guest room as well have a little fun with it too!  When I first saw the flower details, I immediately thought of the Regarding Dahlias stamp set as knew I wanted to include those in my artwork!  

I started by recycling two canvases I had from my previous bathroom and painted over them with a khaki color acrylic paint.  Once dried, I drew out some swirls lightly with a pencil, then took the end of a paint brush and dipped into paint to create small circles.  




















After finishing the canvases, I took a green sharpie and drew two sayings out on Very Vanilla 8 1/2 x 11 card stock and backed it with ripped Chocolate Chip Core'dinations cardstock.  Finally, I added a border of burlap ribbon!
