Grandkids Canvas

Hello  there! 

Today I'm sharing my Design Team project 

for Love To Craft,

a monthly Anything Goes craft challenge site.

It is a 12" x 12"canvas that I "repurposed"

and gave to my Mom.

I found it at a church fundraising sale

earlier this year that she and I were bargain hunting at.

It's a piece of  decorative "paper" glued to a canvas. 

It was faded and scratched in places.

I was going to replace the paper,

then decided to ink over it first to see if I could revive it.

I sponged on distress ink around the edges of the printed paper

then spritzed it with alcohol to create the "mottled" look.

It covered up the fading and scratches well enough,

creating a sort of grungy, time worn look. 

Not much of the paper showed

after adding the 8 x 10 photo and die cuts anyway.

I slightly curled the edges of a paper punch heart shape 

then added red glitter.

It is attached with a dimensional under the center

so the curved edges "wrap" around the dimensional,

giving it a puffy look.

"My" was printed out onto card stock then trimmed by hand.

"Gandkids" was cut  from silver metallic card stock with a Cricut Create.

The banner was also printed onto card stock then hand cut.

The original piece.

Thanks for looking =)
