Have you ever created a project on something besides paper?
How about canvas?
This gorgeous canvas Mistable sheet was in my stash and just begging to be used. It's a fabulous surface for so many techniques. I've used a few today such as misting, stamping and embossing so why not join me for the tutorial? It's fun and do you know what I love most about it? Every time it turns out just a little different. I love the journey to the end result.
Today's layout is for my daughter. She's off to school this fall and I really miss her. Scrapbooking is a great way to relive those memories and hold your loved ones close.
This is what the canvas sheet looks like to start out with. It's already gorgeous plain but I thought I'd add a little color.
First of all I started off with embossing some designs on the canvas. Simply stamp in Versamark Ink and then emboss with clear embossing powder. If you do this on paper, you will form a resist. Because fabric is a little more porous, it usually doesn't resist too well but gives a great batik look and subtle design to the canvas.
Next up I added some misting to the design with Glimmer Mist. I love adding two or three colors together for a beautiful variation in the background. If you're in a hurry to continue, you can dry the canvas with a heat gun.
Adding some colored stamping to the canvas added a little more interest. I've used Aquamarine Archival ink by Ranger here. The Archival Inks are the best I've found for stamping on fabric.
Next step was to add some Stickles Glitter Glue to highlight the border of the design. This is the step that you won't want to rush to dry. Leave it and take a break for an hour.
My favorite part of creating is always adding in the embellishments. This flower is misted like the background to coordinate. The blue Prima Heart Trinket is simply stunning.
Canvas tags and butterflies are the perfect addition for this layout. A great way to adhere the buttons to the canvas is with Ranger Glossy Accents.
Finally, the title is made up of some very cool Wood Tiles. I've misted them as well to make them tone in with the layout.
Have fun pulling out your mists and canvas and explore the possibilities!
