Hello everyone and welcome to the 2Crafty Chipboard Blog. So nice of you to drop by.
I have something a little different to share with you this month. Instead of my usual cards I have actually created a canvas this time. I know I have done a couple of canvases before but they were very small, this one is a bit larger. It measures 9" x 7". It's the first time I have attempted one this size so I hope you will be kind. LOL!!
I have created this to go on the wall in my new Craft Room (when we actually get it done)
and I wanted something with a vintage look. I actually followed a tutorial by
Gabrielle Pollacco for this and, although my canvas doesn't really look anything like
hers, I have used pretty much the same techniques.

In this cluster I have used Foliage Set 1 and Leafy Rounds. Added some flowers and some metal washers and beads. All of the chippies were coated with gesso before I glued them down onto the canvas and then it was just a matter of spraying them with acrylic paints. When everything was dry I randomly painted over different areas with gold Twinkling H2O's.
For the cluster at the bottom I used Flourish Adornment Set 5 and one piece from
the Pretty Flowers. I also added flowers, metal washers and beads to this cluster.

At the top left hand corner of the canvas I used part of the Decorative Rod Set 2. I didn't
need the whole piece so I simply cut off one end to use here. The rest will be used
on another project. I have also added a tiny bird from the ATC Birdcage 1.

I so enjoyed creating this canvas and using these fabulous 2Crafty chippies made it so much
easier to decorate. I also experimented a little with my photos. I took a small leaf
out of Helen Tilbury's book and gave them a frame. I kinda like it.
