Canvas Distress Stain class

In this class we created this college canvas using Tim's new Distress Stains. We started by staining the resist paper and then layering it onto the canvas with Tim's tape. Most items were somehow stained before being put on the canvas. Tim is very good at explaining his products and how they can be best used. It was a fun and informational class. If you want to see this canvas in person, just stop by the store. It'll be over by the Ranger products.

Perfect Pearls Canvas

Did you get to attend the demo on Perfect Pearls this week that Jen did at the store? Here is a canvas we did in Tim Holtz's class using lots of Perfect Pearls. We also used a very unique material he has found that actually gets stronger the more you work with it. The flowers are made from that material and the colored pearls was added and heat set on the paper. A Pearl mist by Ranger was added over the whole canvas at the end that adds a beautiful gold tone that can be best seen under a direct light. It was a very informative yet inspirational class, and got me excited all over again about Perfect Pearls!

Hero Arts Canvas

So here is the first goodie from the show. Hero Arts offered a class using a canvas frame, their stamps, and their collection of Basic Gray papers. We used Perfect Matte Medium to lay torn pieces of tissue paper over the top of the canvas and then added the other pieces. Shari also showed us how to make the stand up paper flower by just cutting a spiral from a circular piece of paper and gluing it together. It doesn't show up well in the photo, but the banner piece has the word "friend" on it. Quick, fun, and easy!
