Canvas Scrap booking

Ok so I see since I've been so out of the craft loop, Canvas is "in".  So Michaels has this big Art blowout so I stocked up on Canvas.  I believe its time and much needed for me to do some projects with my husband.  If anything it will be good therapy.
SOOO, my granddaughter has been asking for photos of Grandpa to hang in her room.
Here's what I came up with:

  • I used a sponge and painted the sides and front edges with a very light yellow gold craft paint. 




Using the CTMH Cricut Cartridge, Artfully Scrapping I found all the borders, choose my size and paper, ( Reflections Collections ), cut them out using the Cricut Air.

              
I then used Mod Podge and covered the picture and borders.






The writing on the tag, that I used Tags, Bags, Boxed and More Cricut cartridge to cut the tags and write the sayings.  Cool huh



 After all was dry I decided to use some of my old CTMH Bling. 



Buttons with Waxy Flax ran through them.



If you can tell from the photo, I got out liquid glass and put a dot on all the white dots on the background paper...fun...I love Liquid Glass from CTMH.




 Here the border cut with the Letters MY, I used brown ink to make them stand out. then of course a good thick layer of liquid glass to give the letters an epoxy look.
I also dug out my CTMH photo corner with brands, using a craft hammer after spreading the brad out, tapping it from the back to flatten the brad arms so it lays flat on the surface, glued them down.  Made another tag using Cricut to cut and to write the saying.


This one I use waxy flax run around the corners of brads and buttons and liquid glass.



Ok so I am very impressed with my new toy.  Just need more play time and my creativity to join back up with me.

Wish me luck.
