\"~<\/a><\/p>\n

She walks in beauty, like the night
\nOf cloudless climes and starry skies;
\nAnd all that’s best of dark and bright
\nMeet in her aspect and her eyes:
\nThus mellowed to that tender light
\nWhich heaven to gaudy day denies<\/p>\n

\"~<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 One shade the more, one ray the less,
\nHad half impaired the nameless grace
\nWhich waves in every raven tress,
\nOr softly lightens o’er her face;
\nWhere thoughts serenely sweet express,
\nHow pure, how dear their dwelling-place.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"~<\/a>
\nAnd on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
\nSo soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
\nThe smiles that win, the tints that glow,
\nBut tell of days in goodness spent,
\nA mind at peace with all below,
\nA heart whose love is innocent!<\/p>\n

~ Lord Byron ~<\/p>\n

~ Happy Valentines Day!~<\/p>\n

This is one of My Favorite Poem and seemed<\/p>\n

a Perfect Fit\u00a0 for this Valentines Day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 An Afternoon, Detail Scissors, Paper,\u00a0 Adhesive and a Couple of Artist Canvases is all of the Materials\u00a0 you will Need to Make One for Yourself.<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0<\/strong> Print a Background on Regular Copy Paper. (I used\u00a0 2 full sheets for a 8\u00d710 Canvas and 2 Full Sheets for the 11×14 Artist Board) I wanted to Create some Texture so I Crumbled my Paper into a Ball until I got the wrinkled look I wanted. Flip your 8 x 10 Canvas over so the Wood Framed Back is Up.Using Matte Gel Medium, Adhere your Background Paper making sure your sheet is Large Enough to Wrap around to the Back of the Canvas Encompassing all edges of the wood as well as the Inner Portion of the Canvas Back . I Then applied a Top Coat to Seal and give Brush Stroke Texture . Set aside to dry. Do\u00a0 the Same for the 11×14 Artist Board and Set Aside to Dry.<\/p>\n

(2)\u00a0 <\/strong>Starting with the 8×10 canvas adhere the\u00a0 Cabinet Card Frame. Set aside to Dry. Do the Same with the 11×14 Artist Board, adhering\u00a0 the Book Cover Images and Paper Doily’s. Set Aside to Dry.<\/p>\n

(3 )<\/strong>\u00a0 Next, take the 8×10 Canvas and Using E 6000 Adhere your 8×10 Canvas to you 11×14 Artist Board.\u00a0 Making sure Everything is Positioned the way you want it.\u00a0 Weight the 2 Canvases Down with Books\u00a0 to Ensure Adhesion during Drying Time. Set aside and Give Ample Time for Drying.<\/p>\n

(4)<\/strong>\u00a0 Start Layering the Genteel Lady Image and the Detail Cutout of the French Garden Image. Glue them in Place.\u00a0 I added Cloth Covered Wire to Create my Vine. Then Start gluing in Place the Leaves and Flowers. You can Use a Leaf Shaped\u00a0 Paper Punch or Cut them Free Handed. (I used a Glue Gun to add the Vine , Flowers and Leaves)<\/p>\n

Helpful Hints<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

~ I find that it really helps to lay everything out first, then glue. It gives you a chance to play and get the look you want.<\/p>\n

~ You Can Use Any Size Combination of Canvases you Choose to Create the Border Width you Like.<\/p>\n

~*Happy Creating!*~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
