Discover the Journey

Good Morning Crafters
 
First of April already, where did March go?
Hoping that you all have a wonderful day and weekend.
 
Today we have another project to share by Gill.
 
One for the gentlemen this time, a mini canvas which is perfect for his man cave. This is a really quick and easy canvas to make in just a few steps
All the products used are available from Personal Impressions website, check the stockist locator on the home page for a stockist near you.
 
 Your will need the following to create this project:
 
Studio Light INDUSTRIAL Die cuts and paper pack
Memento Dew Drop ink - Gray Flannel, London Fog and Teal Zeal
Tim Holtz Collection stencils - Bubble and Traveller
Ranger blending pads
A5 canvas and easel from The Works
Step 1
Randomly blend the different colour inks around the canvas

 

 
Step 2
 
Rip 3 different strips of the industrial papers and stick them across the canvas with PVA glue. 

I watered down the glue and noticed as I dabbed around the canvas it spread the ink and made a lovely background.

Over the strips of paper I added a picture of a plane from the die cut sheet and dabbed with diluted glue.

I then dried the glue with a heat gun

 

Step 3

I added some dimension with the bubble stencil, this is my favourite stencil I use it on all my art and canvas work.

In opposite corners I added the words Discover the journey using the traveler stencil and black memento ink.

I finished with a couple more of the die cuts and gave one last dab over with the diluted glue to give a nice shine to the finished canvas

 
This would be a great gift for a birthday or Father's Day.
 
Thank you for stopping by Today!

You can do so much with a canvas - you can use rice papers, dies, stencils, acrylic paints, pastes and so much more. Materials: White Canvas Ciao Bella Rice Paper Sweet Dixie Dream Catcher Die Sweet Dixie Feather Die White Card Dimensional Paste Blue/Aqua/white Paint Cadence Magic Bond and Seal Glue Honeycomb Stencil Brown/blue distress ink Method: First of all start off with layering the base of your canvas using your rice papers. Tear them into sections to create the scene at the bottom left. Attach into place using the Bond and Seal Glue Using your metal dies and white card, die cut out some feathers and a dream catcher. Fix the feathers and half a dream catcher along the right hand side of the canvas and then put the rice paper on top to continue the scene as shown.
