Act justly, Love mercy, Walk humbly canvas DIY

Yesterday was my mom's birthday!!
We had ice cream cake:

And we made her this:



He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8

We used 3 canvases. I was able to get these ones for $4 each at big lots. 
The first canvas is my brother's hand. Obviously his hands are pretty big so we couldn't use both.
The second is the sides of my hands.
The third is my sister's feet, she has the smallest of us.
I did the wording free-handed, which was kind of tricky.
I'm pretty proud of this project, it turned out better than I had expected and my mom really liked it. 
The paint gets pretty messy if you're doing feet. We found it easier to place the canvas against my sister's feet, rather than her try to step on it without stepping too hard. 

Here's the paints we used:
Canvas: Apple Barrel 2608 Country Tan
Prints: Apple Barrel 2604 Barn Red
Wording: Folk Art 462 Burnt Umber
