Wish Challenge

Today I created this canvas for the Wish Challenge @ Simon Says Blog. I chose stars and the word hope because as a child when I wanted to make a wish I looked to the night sky and said "I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight." Then I would hope and pray it was answered.

To create this I started on a 5x7" board and covered the wood with white heavy acrylic paint. I then took thickening paste and created texture and stars. I then took some words pasted it to the board and added washi tape over it. I then took acrylic paint in platho and other blues plus a water color ink and splashed the canvas with color. Once dry I added mica silver, and stamps including one I got in my monthly kit from Simon Says. I then painted the large star plus added silver embellishments.
