Art

My heart and prayers go out to Oklahoma. 
This is their state flower, Oklahoma Rose.

Oklahoma Rose


Supplies:
4 small canvas
4 shadow box canvas
printed picture of a flower
Mod Podge
paint brush
glue
white paint

I found a flower on the computer and printed it. Place the small canvases on the back of the printed paper and outline each canvas. Cut the four squares out. Turn the canvases over and place the printed picture on each canvas making sure they line up. Now paint one canvas at a time with Mod Podge and carefully place the picture on top. Let dry. Repeat for the next three canvases. Don't worry about wrinkles. It gives it an old look. Once dry apply another coat of Mod Podge on top of the print. Don't worry about seeing the brush strokes. It makes the picture look like an oil painting when dry.

Now, paint the shadow boxes with white paint. Let dry. Place the canvases on the shadowbox to make sure you have everything lined up. Then glue each canvas to the shadowbox. Let dry.
