Hi Friends! I am really excited to share my first official project 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....
