CANVAS WITH A COFFEE THEME

Posted on September 26, 2016 in 3D, Recent Works, Techniques, Tutorials

Hello crafty friends, today I want to share a project inspired by the Fall Coffee Lover Blog Hop and I decided to use one of the stamp sets from Joy Clair, one of the Super Sponsors companies of this wonderful event!

This is a canvas frame that I made using different products. I love to have frames and change my decorations all year round, take a look at my decorated fall canvas:

I made this using a 5″x7″ Canvas Panel, a Stamp Set, Copic Markers, Leaf die cuts and metal sheets and, of course, the fabulous Helmar products. For this project, I used Decoupage and Craft Paste, Helmar Palette, Craft & Hobby PVA Glue and Clear Zapdots. Let me show how I made my frame:

First, I cut a piece of decorated paper the same size of the canvas panel, 5″x7″.

Then I applied a thin layer of Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste using the red palette.

I pasted the decorated paper over the canvas panel and applied a new thin layer of Decoupage and Craft Paste and let it dry.

At this moment I decided to give more color to the texture created with the decoupage. For this I used a Leaf stencil and some Glimmer Mist from Tattred Angels. I used the colors: Golden Orange, Dragonfly and Marmalade.

Over a piece of very vanilla card stock I stamped two images from the stamp set My Cup Runneth Over by Joy Clair using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Copic Markers.

I cut the panel of the stamped images and pasted them over the decorated canvas panel using Craft & Hobby PVA Glue.

To finalize the decoration, I cut two different leaves in Orange Metal Sheet using the Forest Leaves die cuts from Prima.

I inserted the canvas panel into the wooden frame and pasted the metal leaves using clear zapdots. I got these frames and canvas in craft stores, they are very versatile and useful because you can change the motif according with the season.

I hope my project inspired you and come back soon for more creative ideas and don’t forget to participate on the Giveaway of Joy Clair. See you soon!
