A special canvas

I love having a whole day to play at my craft table and today I got cracking early on a canvas, I showed the background in an earlier post here
 
 
Here is the completed canvas, which I am hoping will be auctioned off to raise funds for the Miscarriage association
 
 
The whole canvas is done in acrylic paints and then embellished.


 
The quote I found online and thought it was so perfect for the theme of this canvas.
 
 
 
 
The heart is a 3D polystyrene heart that I cut in half and then applied a coat of gesso, a few coats of paint and then a bit of silver leafing and some clear micro beads for texture.
