I painted it gray with acrylic paint.
Then I used my Cricut to cut out letters. I used the "Doodle Type" font cartridge. I arranged the words and lightly glued them down so that they wouldn't move when I mod podged it. (If you don't have a Cricut, you can print your saying on a computer and cut it out.)
I then put a light layer of Mod Podge all over the canvas.
When it was dry, I ended up with an adorable canvas!
*The saying is from a Gospel hymn, which, depending on how you interpret it, totally fits with what we talked about at church today (I love it when things like that happen). Not only does God have His eye on the lesser things like the sparrow, but maybe we should also watch out for the people who are often times overlooked.
Have a great day! PS: I will be linking up to these parties.

I really like that! Fabulous job! The gray and yellow look really good together.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard that quote before, but I love it! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It turned out so cute! I did cut out a little picture to put on a canvas I painted years and years ago. That is a really good idea to modge podge over it though. Mine doesn't totally stay. And I do really like your quote. That is a nice thought to always remember!
ReplyDeleteIt's on my old blog here: http://dbbydesign.blogspot.com/2009/12/creations-of-late-plus-super-easy-diy.html
I can't remember what cartridge it's from though.
Oh i love it so! My fav quote too! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIve been wanting to make one too and I haven't yet!
ReplyDeleteI love the way yours turned out.
I love the grey with the yellow.
I really like your canvas, the colors, the quote and the little bird! Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you'd drop by for a visit sometime,

We just had a sister get up in church today and bore her testimony. She sang this hymn as part of her testimony. Can't believe I would then see this idea on another blog which led me to you. I think I need to make this for her. Where did the sparrow bird come from?

Hi Courtney,
ReplyDeleteI am spending a little time blog hopping and landed on your site. This post caught my eye. You did such a nice job with the canvas - great quote, great colors, and the sparrow is a great finishing touch. I also like the idea of covering with a coat of Mod Podge. I am your newest follower.

This is great! I am going to try something like this with stickers one of these days!
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney - how much would you charge for the quote in vinyl? I don't have a silhoutte but have a canvas that would work great for this and would be adorable in my 2 year old's room. You can email me: thebajemas@hotmail.com or www.thecraftproject9.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and let you know I featured this today!!
happy crafting,
Linda
Great job! May have to try this!
ReplyDeleteJust got my first bottle of mod podge and came across your blog while looking for project ideas. I'm looking to decorate my sewing room and this is one lovely idea. I might just try it! Although maybe I should start with a really easy project.
ReplyDeleteGod bless,
Lina
