-
I added my grass and sky by filling in my canvas with acrylic paint.
-
Using random found circles (like paint caps and lids), I "stamped" my circles for my flowers and then used my fingers to paint them in.

Continue adding layers of green and yellow to your grass and blues and whites to your sky until you are happy.

Add your title using a The Crafter's Workshop stencil.
