Growing in Unity, Day #3, Today only happens once...let's make it amazing

Hey there fabulous Unity peeps!  I am now in the middle of GIU.  These past few days have been incredible.  Thanks so much for all the lovely comments...I appreciate each and every one.  Continue to leave comments on my blog for your chance to win 25 random stamps from Unity Stamp Co. 

Today I am sharing an inspirational piece.  Make sure you return tomorrow...I am sharing my first ever art journal page.  For today's piece,  I chose a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" wood canvas.  I applied gesso first.  Then I sponged acqua dolce and squid ink gelatos.  I left the middle untouched to accommodate the sentiment which is from, Loving Today.  The butterflies are also from the same set.  Flower is from, Let it Go and Focus.  Shout out to Angeline Choo, Unity Design Team member, for the idea of using sequins to create a border.  Fabulous idea!  Here are the pics...until tomorrow friends.

    Gorgeous wood canvas, Dawn! Angeline also inspired me to use the sequins as a border ... I think it's such a genius idea!

      It's just a square shape piece of wood. If I'm not working with paper, I often use the term canvas.

    I have never heard of a wood canvas? Is that canvas over a wood frame? I know I have seen burlap and denim in the stores. It's an awesome piece! And I LOVE that sentiment!
