Butterfly and Apple Collage on Canvas

So excited to finish another collage on canvas. Again, it is all about the background...my styrofoam stamps. This time I put the color right on the canvas (not a wash). Then I used some left over corrigated cardboard to scratch into the paint. A white coating which made a bunch of pink...what did I expect? aAdded scribble writing with my permanent marker. I printed cream colored scrapbooking paper and some waxed paper with my stamp. I put the band of paper across the middle, added an orange 4 that I stamped with white paint, the appple image from a magazine, and the butterfly. Then I stamped over the apple and added torn paper pieces to the rest of the collage. Again, its the background that counts. I'm pleased with the results. What do you think?
