Today I'm going to show you the canvas I created at the Finnabair weekend at Snazzy's in Swindon. As I said in my last post this was the project I found hardest to do and I'm still not totally happy with it but I think that's mainly to do with the pink colour I used in the bottom left corner ........... it's still too pink, lol! I'm not sure what possessed me really as that particular shade of pink is about my least favourite colour but there you go, sometimes it's good to try something out of your usual sphere.
The photo I used is of my beautiful daughter Jenna, and I just love the cheeky look in her eyes! Again, in fairness to Anna I'm not giving any 'how to' instructions, just a few photos.
This next one shows the amount of dimension in those embellishments.
Hope you like!
See you again soon.

Fabulous Lesley! Love the ombre effect with the transition from the shades of gray to the pretty pink touches. Wonderful design!
This is just lovely Lesley!! I think you did a great job, and Suzanne is right the transition of the colours is really nice, and you are right she does have a cheeky face lol!!!
I do like, and I think the little bit of pink is perfect.
I think it looks great and love the photo! The embellishments are stunning....not a ink person either but I think you pulled it off! Hugs trace x
Well I think it looks lovely, you obviously managed it very well in the end!!
Wow Lesley. It looks stunning. Can't wait to go to Wirksworth and have a go myself!!
Oh wow - it's totally gorgeous. Love all though embellishments and I think the splash of pink is just fine.

The canvas and Jenna are both gorgeous.
It's been interesting seeing some of the work to come out of that weekend. This is wonderful and just love all those embellishments surrounding your beautiful daughter.
Wow an amazing canvas Lesley, I love all of those wonderful embellishments on there, such lovely dimension. I also like the pink, I think it looks fine.
I've loved seeing the work of people from this W/E... all fabulous and this is no exceptiom... it's gorgeous and compliments your lovely daughter... I like the touch of pink, but then again I am a bit of a pink girl.

S very lovely creation this & I love the way your daughter's face is surrounded by the lovely mixture of shapes & flowers. The eye is really drawn to her smile. I actually think the pink adds a touch of warmth to the whole & has created a lovely purplish shade just above the lace.

I love the pinks greys and blacks on your piece Lesley. It sounds as if you had a wonderful time. Annette x

you obviously had a great time, and I think the touch of pink is just what it needs as a contrast - sorry!
Another great project Lesley, love your canvas and that's a fabulous photo!!!

I really like the colours, and I'm far from being a pink kind of girl. There's something about the gradual shading into the dark that stops the pink from being too pink - if you know what I mean! Fabulous photo, and the composition is great. What a weekend it was!

I have to say I quite like the way you've used the pink. Like Butterfly I think what you have done with the other colours has toned it down and it works well. What a lovely daughter you have, a real elf-child! She looks perfect on a Finnabair canvas. Julie Ann xx
Gorgeous canvas, I love all the metal embellishments, and the composition. The small amount of pink looks fabulous, it works very well. Have a wonderful weekend, Shirleyx
Breathtakingly gorgeous, Lesley! So beautiful!
Oh you lucky thing going on a Finnabair workshop, I love her style. Bet is was great.
Your canvas is gorgeous, Lesley and shows off your beautiful daughter brilliantly.
