Good Monday Morning everyone!
I was so disappointed to have missed out on completing my
Aspen Blog Hop project because I became ill this past week. It certainly taught me a lesson about waiting until the last minute when beginning my project. I decided that I would share it with you today.
Here are the steps I took in making my project.
Step 1. Begin with an 8x10" blank canvas flipped to the back side.

Step 1. |
Step 2. Create a frame using the
wood veneer paper. Cut the paper at a 45 degree angle using the
Club Scrap acrylic ruler creating perfect mitered corners.
|
Step 2. |
Step 3. Attach these pieces to the back side of the canvas using
ATG adhesive or
Bookbinding Glue. Cut strips of the wood veneer paper to cover the inside edges of the wood frame of the canvas. This gives your piece a finished clean look.
|
Step 3. |
Step 4. Wrap a piece of the large grosgrain ribbon around the frame and attach with your choice of adhesive. Attach leaves and quote using hot glue.
|
Step 4. |
Step 5. Complete the project with a favorite photo matted with
Aspen cardstocks.

Step 5. |
Thanks so much for letting me share my project with you today. Have a fantastic week!

Julie that is just drop dead gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I never would have thought of using the back side of a canvas. How creative!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteFantastic use of the supplies, Julie! I love how the canvas frame automatically creates the dimension, and the wood veneer gives it so much texture. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThat wood veneer is one of my favorite goodies this year. Love the look you created with this project Julie - very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice project Julie. I love the look of the wood veneer.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if it can be stained?
Hi Arlene, yes it can be. I have done it before using Distress inks but I bet you can try it using CS hybrid inks too!
DeleteThank you Julie. I think I'll give it a try.
DeleteGreat idea, Julie! I never would have thought of using a canvas inside out either. Glad you're feeling better!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Julie! I never thought to use the back of a canvas for dimension. Great tip!
ReplyDeleteGreat project...I love your "backward" thinking with the canvas...so cool!! I have a lot of favorite pictures to put in the middle of a canvas. The use of the veneer was so smart.

I'm pretty late in "hopping" so your project wasn't late at all ;) Love that wood veneer paper, I thought it was interesting when I ordered some extra it was totally a different color than the first 2 sheets I got, pretty cool.
