Mixed Media - Canvas

Hi there!  Thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a little 4"x4" canvas art to show you.

This is one of the projects we made at

last Saturday's Stampin' Retreat.

If you missed it, don't worry ... we have

another one coming up Saturday, September 7, 

from 1:00-4:00 at the same location, Comfort Suites

in Roanoke.  We'll be focusing on Christmas cards 

and tags.  You can come make a bunch a few months

ahead of time so you have a little less you have to

stress about during December.  :)

Isn't it fun?  We took a blank white canvas

and painted it with brown acrylic paint.

Once it dried, we applied a layer of Mod Podge

and adhered a square of Sweater Weather 

designer series paper stamped with the

Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the

splatter effects.  We then adhered

the pumpkin (three ovals) and the

stem and leaves and added another

coat of Mod Podge.  Once that was

all dry, we applied a Naturals button

with some linen thread and a sentiment,

all with glue dots.

This was so much fun to do and really pretty

easy!  I can't wait to do this for 

Halloween and Christmas!

What ideas come to your mind when you think

of this technique of applying paper to canvas?
