The cross project for Christmas gifts went over quite well! One of my high school classmates asked if I'd make one for her, and then I had a request for a 2nd.
These are the crosses I came up with. They are almost identical. I haven't found a reason to work with any other paper stacks yet. The Modern Medley DSP (black and vanilla) and Mocha Morning DSP (ret.) make them look so elegant in my opinion.
It's rather a long process, but so much faster when I had only 2 to make!
Paint the canvas backing, tea stain the hymnal page (after the decision on which hymn), paint the edges of both crosses and cover with DSP. Sand the edges and then ink to finish the look. Adhere the hymnal page to the canvas, and adhere both crosses. Finish with a center medallion.
They turn out so beautifully - it's definitely worth the amount of work.
