This is what my canvas looked like:

This is what my canvas looked like:
The prayer is in Welsh and a simple translation of the verse is:
Oh Father, as a contented family
we come, and thank you anew,
because from your hand there comes each day
our food and our joy.
Amen
This is an angled view of the canvas showing the little dimension introduced:we come, and thank you anew,
because from your hand there comes each day
our food and our joy.
Amen

I started by printing out an assortment of the papers at different sizes, as well as printing out the digi-stamp of the sliced rustic loaf at around 2" in length. I used a brown watercolour pencil to colour in the digi-stamp and then cut it out. I cut out the panels of the papers and after laying the largest towards the top of my canvas I started playing around with positions of the rest and tore the edges of anything that wasn't along the outside of the canvas. I used quick grab glue to stick everything onto the canvas, leaving a small white edge of the canvas all the way around. I opened one of the backgrounds in My Craft Studio and re-sized it to the size I wanted before typing the prayer in a layer over the top. This was also printed out and cut. I shaped/bowed both the prayer and the loaf of bread and used the same glue to attach these at their left and right hand sides to the front of the canvas, holding for half a minute until the glue grabbed and held the item with the shape I wanted. I then took a dry paint brush and some white paint and dry brushed very lightly in from the edges all the way around to soften the outside edge of the paper panels.
