A Birthday Gift with a Great Message

I recently went to a birthday party for a young girl.  Being a woman and a mother of 3 girls I know how  hard the pressure is to look like a Barbie doll even though that is SO VERY unrealistic.
So I created these 3 canvases and had the girl (w/no face) flow over two and the message framed on one.

The message is this:

No Beauty Shines Brighter than that of a Good Heart.

I really wanted to use this Bible Verse. But for the Life of me could not get it to Stamp, hand write or come out the way I liked it.  So I went with the above saying instead.

After a Marathon of working on these canvas' (which just really means I fell into my work which i do often. ) This was the final result  (this is after layers and layers and Layers of paper, texture paste, tissue paper, oil pastels, water color just some of the things used). 

The reaction from the little girl was worth the late night and the flow of the creativity.  Thats what I live for.  I love giving my art as gifts.  Especially to people I know which cherish them.  This is something that can last a lifetime.  I really really like the end results. 

Have fun being Creative!
