There Are Two Gifts…Heart Canvas

Howdy Canvas Corp Brands Fans!!!  Lynne Forsythe here sharing a canvas I created for CHA this year.

As you may or may not know….I just LOVE creating Mixed Media Canvases and this canvas was EXCEPTIONALLY fun!!

 I began my creative  journey with a 12 x 12 stretched canvas.

I then pulled out a package of 4 Canvas Corp Brands Coasters

and 4 Gypsy Trading Cards ~ Canvas
and began to arrange them on the canvas and to my GREAT excitement they fit together just PERFECTLY!!

I roughed up the various Canvas Pieces….
Stamped on them
Stenciled on them
to create a VINTAGE look.

I then pulled out my stash of Gypsy Moments,
I have to say…
EVERY TIME I look at this collection of paper…..I sigh!!
The vintage shabby look just makes my heart sing!

I began creating a patchwork heart on my canvas pieces
using the various papers from the Gypsy Moments Collection
so that now two shapes were the same.
I distrezzed the edges of the papers and adhered them to my canvas shapes.

I then went to my vintage stash….
of antique lace
metal pieces parts
and let the mixed media creativity flow!!

The focal point of my canvas is
a BEAUTIFUL Petaloo flower
backed by diecut ivy
cut from Tattered Angels ~ Pure Mistable Papers Boucle ~ White.

I finished of my canvas with a quote from
Gypsy Moments ~  A Novel Thought.
There are sooo many fabby quotes on this paper
the one that spoke to me was…..

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey as much as I did!!!

Cut, paint, stencil, stamp, ink, layer, marker….have fun trying these amazing techniques that Lynne created.

HAPPY CREATING!!!
