At Canvas Corp Brands, we encourage everyone to express themselves in the way they feel most comfortable. Whether it’s painting, home decor, mixed media, sewing… it really doesn’t matter! What matters is that you are having fun!
Collage… for some it will be an easy, effortless form of artistic expression, for others… the worst nightmare they’d rather avoid than take part in. We have for you 3 very different takes on the genre – none of them is the wrong way of doing it. All of them are they way to do it – which is YOUR way!

Lady with wings – Tammy Brackett
‘I adore Architextures. The elements are so beautiful, so full of dimension and incredibly easy to use! I used a decoupage technique to cover an 8×8 CCB Chunky Stretched Canvas and added a Weathered Lady Statue Architextures element that I enhanced with a pair of Architextures Angel Wings. The two elements (sold separately) seem to go together perfectly. I finished the piece with one of my handmade paper feathers.’
Materials used:
Canvas Corp 8×8 Chunky Stretched Canvas
Architextures Weathered Lady Statue
Architextures Angel Wings
Handmade paper feather
scissors, Mod Podge, paint brush
Tip from Tammy: One of my youtube subscribers suggested a sprinkle of baby powder on the back of the Architextures Angel Wing that drapes over the canvas – this will keep it from sticking to other things!
So… Don’t be scared! Grab your paints and papers and have a go at your very own collage – the best way to do it is to give it a go and see where it takes you.
Oh, and don’t forget to have fun!
