Canvas Art Card



This card I made for my niece who is turning 13 and is really great at Art. I wanted to make a card that represented some art work. I used the ribbon on the edge of the card to make it look like it was a frame on the "canvas". My DH helped me with the concept since he too is artistic and then once I had the idea it all came together very quickly.
