"I've got my eye on you" mixed media wall hanging...

Hello blogerettes, hope your day is treating you well....So,yesterday I decided I wanted to work with fabric.My girlfriend gave me a box of sample fabric, and in it was this piece which I was immediately attracted to...I loved the colors, the texture, the pattern...So, I went for it with a devil may care attitude, fear and insecurities pushed aside, and plunged right in....I am working on being less symmetrical and "less is more"...My husband loves my work, but says I have a tendency to over-embellish, and I think that comes from being insecure about my work...
So, took a canvas, mixed up a color, did some painting, used my Prima masks and glimmer misted here and there in pink, then there and here in irrediscent gold...Mixed another color together, trying to complement the teal, and painted that in using another mask. Did some gold distressed embossing with a beautiful new stamp the hubby bought for me; inked the edges with my favorite TH distressed ink. Added a beautiful button gifted to me, and an ornate plate around it....I wanted to give the effect of an aged piece.. And I resisted the urge to do anymore to it...I walked away, and today I picked it up and looked at it and said; yes, it is finished...
And Voila...









finished...And Voila....
