********************
My project today is my first canvas ever!
I can't believe I waited this long!
I started with a 6 X 6 Canvas that I decorated with Authentique Paper's Thankful Collection, Canvas Corps Burlap, and other canvas pieces
I distressed the edges of the canvas and layered a 5 X 5 piece of patterned paper for the background. Then the fun began!
I then started cutting several leaves from patterned paper, burlap and canvas.
Layered them on using my glue gun.
I added another small canvas for my sentiment.
The flowers were made with some vintage lace that I glued and gathered as I made it into the flower shape. A vintage button finishes them off.

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. Such beautiful fall colors. And I like the extra dimension about adding a small canvas for the sentiment. Did you use a glue gun because the embellishments wouldn't stick to the canvas? I am seeing more and more people use glue guns lately so I am curious.
