I saw some really nice paintings at Target about a month ago, they were with the new patio furniture (can't find an image on-line to show you) but they were $30 plus depending on the size. Of course they weren't brown either, more Springy colors, so I took a similar idea and made it my own. The dandelion, although not a flower, can still be pretty in it's own way.
This whole project, all three canvases, paint and ribbon probably cost me about $8 to make, if that. Since I bought the cheap canvases, the ones with the staples showing on the sides, I just covered them with some PTI Chocolate ribbon and made, like a frame. Here is a side view...
My husband actually said, "They look nice!" and he usually doesn't even notice when I change something.
Well, I have other things, just not the time to download today. I need to start working on my Valentine's Cards - UGH! Where is the time going???!!!
Have a fabulous week! As always thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed something a little different :-)

WOW Kacey!! Stunning!! And how nicely finished with the ribbon - these are ace. You should make these and sell them on Etsy.
I hadn't thought about ribbon trim down the sides. Cool idea! I painted some ballerinas for my niece. Left the staples, though.
And dandelions are great when they're blowing on the wall--LOL!!
Seriously, what a beautiful and simple way to dress up a wall--beautifully grouped as well. Thanks for the ideas....
And hope all goes well with the house thing!
