For my canvas project, imagine, I incorporated many fun techniques that I learned from Claudine Hellmuth at her CHA workshop! And, I finished the canvas and the chipboard clouds with Sparkle Mod Podge, which is included in the weekly giveaway!

Materials:

• Large Rectangular Canvas
• Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints: Classic Teal, Gesso, Glossy Multi-Medium, Extra-time
• Claudine Hellmuth Sticky-back Canvas

• Ribbons and Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
• Ranger Mane Comb (for the swirled texture)

Techniques:

1. Transfer onto back of Sticky-Back Canvas-peel backing off sticky-back canvas, burnish scrapbook paper using scraper, heavily mist, and rub paper off revealing image
2. Extra Time Faux Paste Paper- Apply a thick coat of gesso to canvas, use comb to create texture, and dry. Then using 3:1 Extra Time and Paint, apply over dry canvas.
3. Mod Podge Sparkle Finish- When step 2 is completely dry, apply thin coat of Mod Podge Sparkle to entire canvas and chipboard clouds.
4. Ribbon Tags- Fold ribbon in half, place behind photo, and staple in place.
