Delight In The Day Canvas

Hi! I'm sharing a canvas that I created with products from the August Club Q Page Layouts and Altered Kits for Quick Quotes today. I had a lot of fun using 10 colors of PowderPuff Chalking Ink to color the background of my canvas. The embellishments in the August Club Q Kits were a fantastic mix of textured ribbons, die-cuts, flowers, brads and paper straws. I piled all of these supplies onto a sturdy 5x7 Canvas Panel, which is included in the kit.

I used a stencil and molding paste to add the circle pattern to the canvas. I then cut pieces of mesh ribbon and attached it to the corners of the canvas with washi tape. I let the canvas dry overnight before moving on to the next step.

I covered the canvas with a layer of gesso to help seal the ribbon and tape to my canvas and to prepare the canvas for color. I dried the gesso with a heat gun, which only took about a minute, and continued on to the next step--adding color!

I planned to add blue embellishments over this background, so I chose yellow and purple inks for a bold contrast. I used sponge daubers to apply the PowderPuff Chalking Ink to the canvas. I started by first coloring the circles with Lemonade PowderPuff Chalking Ink. I then blended Brandywine, Purple Passion, Very Berry, Plum Crazy, Pink Cheeks and Blue Jeans PowderPuff Chalking Ink in the spaces between the circles. Lastly, I used Mocha Mama and Midnight Confessions PowderPuff Chalking Ink to hightlight the edges of the yellow circles. I set the ink with my heat gun and then used a dry brush to apply a light coat of white acrylic paint over the canvas to soften the color for a more shabby finish.

I inked the edges of flower and leaf die-cuts with Mocha Mama PowderPuff Chalking Ink. I wanted a less intense color on my die-cuts so I applied Coconut White PowderPuff Chalking Ink to the die-cuts with a stipple brush using a pouncing motion.

I used the paper straws to finish the edge of my canvas. I simply cut a slit down each straw, slipped them over the edges of my canvas, and then trimmed them to length. I sealed the inside edge of the straws with a white dimensional paint pen.

I attached beautiful Petaloo blooms in a cluster on the center of my canvas and topped it with a sentiment. I trimmed the colored border from the sentiment and inked the edges to match my canvas. I punched a hole in both ends of the sentiment and used brads and twine to tie the sentiment around the canvas. I covered the printed dots on the sentiment with the same white dimensional paint pen that I used around the inner edge of my canvas. I finished the canvas with a big bow.
