Bracelets using canvas pieces

Hello everyone-

Today, I am here to show you a new way to use your canvas dies. I recently took an online class on how to make bracelets out of belts. Super duper fun, but one of my big things with taking a class is how to do I make this mine?  How can I show my style?

This is how:

I took the canvas piece and painted them white. Then took sharpies to decorate them. I glue them on with a fabric/leather glue. then riveted the ends just encase the ends wanted to come up. What else could you decorated canvas pieces in??? The possibilities are endless! Go be creative and make it your "own"! 

****Tip: 1- when decorating the canvas pieces I have found that using the fine tipped sharpie works best for details. 2- Make sure you seal the piece after you are done.****

Until next time-

Stay creative :)

Hugs,

K

Yellow exam card

I´m showing you a yellow and bright card I made for our nice Teacher exam. I love how it turned out with the different shades of yellow paper and the yellow flowers. The Linnie Blooms canvas feather and leave was just spot on perfect for this project.

To highlight the canvas shapes further, I inked them a bit with a beige ink. Enjoy!

Creative Storage for Linnie Blooms Canvas Pieces

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I am really excited about my first official post as a new member of the Linnie Blooms Design Team!!!

I had so much fun playing with some of the canvas pieces and I came up with a creative & decorative way to not only store my pieces but to organize them as well. 

I recycled some vegetable cans and created these sweet containers that I decorated with some of the very same canvas pieces these will store. I also have a video to share with you that shows you the project up close along with the Linnie Bloom items I used....

 Let me share with you the fun techniques I used on the canvas pieces...

For the flower, I used a script background stamp to create some texture and visual interest. 

Next I used some sprays to give it some color and used my distress tool to fray the edges to give it a shabby chic look...

 I did the same technique for the leaf pieces but used a different background stamp...

 For the butterfly I stamped an actual butterfly image on the canvas piece then used some distress ink to give it some color....

 I wanted to have the illusion that the butterfly had just flown into my craft room and landed on the vine so I taped the wire I had left from when I cut my flowers to the backside of the butterfly so I could bend it as if it was in motion....

 For the bird I used some embossing powder for added texture and shimmer....

 Lastly, I used the same treatment on all the banner pieces that I attached to each altered can....

 Here are a few more photos of the completed altered cans....

 And here's how they look on my shabby chic vintage hutch....
