Here is a little bit from Heidi Kelley about how she came, to design this artistic canvas: As an artist, when I look at my daughters, I am sometimes thrown into a world of whimsy. I see them sitting in gardens, catching butterflies, with flowers pinned all haphazardly in their hair. That was the inspiration behind this canvas. I love to layer my daughters hair within projects, to create the true essence of what I see on a daily basis, and then add all the magic in with flowers, bits and baubles. Using the little Charme Roses from Prima works perfectly for this! I can layer them, slide them under locks of hair, and combine different colors for a beautiful and not-overwhelming-the-photo kind of way!
