Jan's first canvas project!

Today, Jan shares her first experience working with canvas. 

Follow her simple step by step to see how she assembled this awesome project!
 

First, I brushed a store bought canvas with a 50-50 mix of white glue and water.

I then crumpled up a sheet of tissue paper and layered it over the wet glue.

Next, I added some more of the glue mixture over the top of the tissue and let it dry.

I mixed 3 colors of Glimmer Mist* together and poured some of the mixture into a cup and added water to thin it out a bit leaving the rest as it was.

 Then I lightly brushed the watered down color over the tissue and added a bit of darker color here and there.

 I used the Crafters Workshop Dina Wakley Mini Love Bird Stencil and embossing paste*  to add the birds to the canvas.

 Next, I added the SRM Sticker Sentiments along with some leaves using the Crafters Workshop Stencil and more embossing paste*. 

I cut the little birds' nest in half and used glue to attach it to the canvas.
