The challenge this week at MMM is to:
CREATE A SCENE
We want to see land scapes, sea scapes, garden and lakes - all containing trees, plants, animals, birds or insects.
can I please draw your attention to the overriding theme this month which is
NATURE
I love the MMM challenges and wanted to try something different. I'm always inspired by the collage projects that Yvonne(Meggysway) creates and so I have used a small canvas this week.
I've never worked on canvas before so that alone was definitely a challenge!!! It's a small canvas and I covered it with a layer of acrylic paint in buttermilk. From then on it was a case of stamping to create a scene and adding DI. I quite like the finished collage but don't think it's up to a challenge standard:) I'm already working on another scene, this time, a card, so I may be back!
I'm also entering it into the challenge over at Fashionable Stamping where the theme is Butterflies or Bugs.
Thanks for taking the time to visit I love to read your comments:)

Greetings, Alie :-)
Wow what a gorgeous collage . Love the nature look the butterflies and the cat!!!!! This would look awesome as a wall hanging too!!!!! Fabulous work Valerie!!!!!
This is beautiful and well done for trying a canvas. I discovered the surface is a bit of challenge for stamping because the canvas sort of 'bounces' unless you can find something of the right size to put underneath it when stamping. A scene like this is a good option though because any faint bits can be covered up with another flower or fern LOL!!
Gorgeous canvas, beautiful fresh colours, with such a lot of lovely stamping, love the cat eyeing up the dragonflies. Thanks so much for joining us at FSC. XX

Hi Valerie, this is stunning. Cannot believe it is your first time using this medium. The detailing is great. Thank you for your continued support of the Make My Monday blog!
A fabulous project Valerie - the scene is beautifully put together, and I love the vintage feel you've created. No-one would guess that this was your very first attempt at using a canvas.
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Such a fabulous piece of artwork, Val. You wouldn't know that this was your first canvas, it looks wonderful! I love the birds, dragonflies and butterflies:)
Hi Valerie, Congratulations for trying something new, well 2 new things really. You have succeeded. Working on canvas is for me a challenge yet to be successful, I love your scene, the little cat really speaks volumes as he is sitting there. Thanks for sharing your art with Fashionable Stamping (butterflies + bugs) and to Make My Monday- Create a Scene - Nature. Caz
