{Making a Birthday Present - a paper flower canvas}

I love being able to make gifts for friends knowing the colours and textures they like.

It was such fun to make this.  I used several flower dies and punches using this muted spring colour palette.

The size of the canvas is about 8 by 11 inches.

To create the textured background I used a stencil, a spritzer with water and a few drops of Coastal Cabana reinker and texture paste.

The roses where created by cutting a swirl into a flower shape, rolling it up and gluing with my glue gun.  Intermingled into the leaves and flowers is some gold thread and pearl embelishments.

Here is the video of how I made it...

{Unicorn Canvas Art}

So if you hadn't noticed, Unicorns are on trend... don't know how to escape from them, so rather than fight it I've decided to join in!

I was totally inspired by a card created by Monica Gale and also various Unicorn cakes I had seen on Pinterest.  They looked rather classy rather than twee so I decided to make a bigger version on a
canvas.

Here is one with a Christmas colour scheme that I designed.

A local craft shop and art studio asked me to run workshops for children and this design has been very popular, there are quite a few children in my town who are the proud owners of their own Unicorn canvas that they have made.

The main ingredients you'll need to make something like these is some glimmer paper, and various floral punches.  To add a bit of texture to the background a stencil and some embossing paste or a spritzer with some ink and water.

Here are a couple of video tutorials... a long one explaining the process and a shorter one to give you a quick idea of what is involved.

{Rose Art Canvas}

Happy Weekend everyone!

I've had a lovely crafty Saturday, getting messy with some canvas.

For a long time I have been admiring video tutorials of mixed media work, and my brain has been trying to figure out how to use Stampin' Up! products to create the same fabulous results.

Below is the result of a couple of hours work, I have created a video that has condensed the proces to less than 12 minutes, enjoy!
