Graphics 45 Wall Canvas

Happy  Wedsnesday  !!!

Today I have a really fun project to share with you!

This is a wall canvas I made using the Graphics 45 paper,

"Once Upon a Springtime",

that I got from Joan's garden.

 I just love this paper!!

Notice how the teacup actually sits on a ledge in my photo tent

but is part of the canvas, so it does stick out from the canvas.

I actually cut down the inner part of the teacup die

pattern so it doesn't stick out too far.

Here is a list of what I used

Graphics 45 paper

SU CS and Grunge board

Tim Holtz Distress inks & Crackle paint

Gold Pilot marker

Tea Cup Die

Stickles

Dimensionals

Muslin

Tim Holtz Embossing folder

( for the technique I used on the leaves go here)

decorative nails / upholstery tacks

Most of these items can be gotten at Joan's Garden

 Here are some pictures of how I made the flower in the teacup

All I did was fan fold in between each petal

area of the doily then add some Aileens Tacky Glue

 to each center and then pinch and pinch until the bottom

 looks like sample number 3  then snip the end a bit 

then add that one to the next one and do the same as

 the first layer and keep repeating this step until you have

 all the layers you want. I used 3 layers for mine. I also put

 some distress ink on it as you can see in the finished picture.

Lots of time went into making this project but it

was so worth it. I would love to know what you think

of it. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

I will have another post in a little while.

As you can see I have been a busy bee.

Until later hugs
