This was one of those projects that I had in my half-done pile. The 12 x12 canvas base was covered with remnant gauze pieces of various sizes and chipboard pieces that have fallen off their adhesive backings ...and were basically driving me nuts. Yet, after sticking them all down with gel medium and putting a layer of gesso over it, I wasn't really feeling it....so it went into cold storage. [Okay on a stool in my room but when I turned on the air-conditioning...it went into "cold storage"...*LOL*]
This project was first shared on the Maya Road blog.
....& that is an incredibly USEFUL use for said canvas....LOVE it.... & even more, how you manage to add bits that don't seem to 'go'...until you cluster them. And then they seem perfect! Oh, and that big pink flower? YUM!!!! [and I don't even like flowers!!!!!]
ReplyDeletehehehehe ... turns on air con and it becomes the cold room! LOL!! I love love love this! LOVING that post card stencil and the little deer!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so super cute, love the letters, colors and the great design.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized the pictures weren't intended to be part of the canvas! What a great idea, using a canvas to hold ready-to-scrap photos.
