Wow…long
time, no post! I guess I took a spring and summer break from crafting. I’m
happy to be back in the craft room (aka the dining room table) and creating
fabulous projects. Today I have a Design Team Submission for Country Craft Creations. She has an online scrapbooking supply store where she sells at
wholesale prices or just above. It’s a great way to make scrapbooking
affordable for everyone!
I chose to
use BasicGrey Herbs & Honey 6x6 paper pad and also the Diecuts &
Transparencies pack. I started with a few cards. I love to use 6x6 paper pads
for cards and mini albums. Everything already goes together and I don’t have to
worry about whether or not the papers match. The patterns are the same as in
the larger pads, but the smaller scale is perfect for cards.

The steps to create this canvas were pretty simple. First I spritzed the canvas with water. Next I sprayed each color, one a time. Between each layer of color I spritzed it with water and blotted with a paper towel. After all the colors were applied, I spritzed it again with water to give the canvas a watercolor look. After the ink dried I applied a layer of ModPodge. I placed the transparencies and covered with another layer of ModPodge. The MP acts as a glue to keep the transparencies in place and also gives the canvas a glossy finish that will protect it from dust and fingerprints.
Here's a short video showing the cards and canvas. Thanks for watching!
