I do not do a lot of layouts but I do canvases.
I did a canvas class in 2009 instructed by Sara at The Paperie. I really loved doing this class and the canvas I made was for Michelle .........................
I like this canvas because you can change the picture easily. The picture is held in place with a covered clothes pin.
I wanted to go home right away and do a canvas for each of my boys. So I bought the canvases and painted them .............................
Crate, Adornit and Sassfrass paper and this is a far as I got.
So I dug around and found all the 'stuff' to finish the canvases.
Chris canvas ..........................................
I used the Crate and Adornit paper for Chris's Canvas. I cut the paper in strips and layered them on the canvas using Golden Regular Gel Medium. I then covered all the paper in gel medium tinted with burnt sienna paint. I also distressed some of the paper using Ranger's Distress Inks.
Added a picture ............................
The picture really pops against the distressed canvas.
Matt's Canvas .....................................................
I used the Sassafrass Monster for this canvas. I distressed the paper with the distress inks attached them with the reg gel medium. I added the monster with pop dots and then misted the whole canvas with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist bought at The Paperie
Added a picture............................
This canvas is similar to the way I did Michelle's but by distressing the paper with ink and misting it I updated it to 2013!
I am so happy with these canvases. I love that I can change the photos anytime with no trouble.

DeleteI have been looking for a way to put up some photos...I think I will give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI like that I could make a layout and change to the actual picture as wanted! I think I want seasonal canvases to showcase a special event that goes along!
This is so much fun to do.
