WELCOME A NEW DAY

It seems every magazine we open lately has a bit of a country flair found among its pages, and this expression is keeping with the trends. Create a fabulous rustic home décor piece using a rich, deep color like Terra Cotta paired with a Sage Brush backdrop. A tip for applying your expression to canvas is to burnish it from the backside.
