My favorite Sharon Balzer Design stencil.
I had a WIP that I had no idea what to do with it when lightening struck.
I traced the design onto the canvas with a Sharpie and then filled it in with black
The canvas was ho hum but I like this.

All of the grandkids are heading back to school.  I try to make a card for each of them to encourage them along the way. 
Here are some of samples

Your art on the black canvas is a real beauty and looks like it was very difficult. You are so nice to your grandkids to make such beautiful cards for them.
