Welcome to Friday and another Friends with Flair Unity Style. Be sure to swing by the Unity Blog for a full list of Friends participating today!
This week I once again pulled out some of my painters canvas and decided I wanted to make a canvas card!
Here is what I came up with:
So, I started with a piece of canvas ironed and folded to the size of a card. I added some gesso to it and waited for it to dry. Then using some acrylic paints here I used some Ranger paint daubers, I painted the canvas. Then I stamped using a birdcage from Unity in Aged Mahogany Distress ink by Tim Holtz/Ranger. I wanted to make my canvas card sturdy so I lined the inside with chocolate brown paper (Gina K Designs).
On the front I added all my paper elements. The scallops were cut from the Fiskars scallop punch using Tim Holtz's Lost and Found stack and Chocolate Brown cardstock from Gina K. The heart "leaves" branch I cut using my Cricut. When adhering all the paper I used a fabric glue since I was adhering directly to the canvas. The owl is paper pieced and cut out and I used dimensionals to adhere.
I am really pysched at how this came out. NOW, I know I'm not the first person to make an all fabric/canvas card but I was impressed with myself at what I came up with since it was not based on anything I have seen online or in a magazine or anywhere.
Well that's it for now!
Thanks for stopping by!
