Canvas Art

I made this hinged mini canvas Triptych for my daughter who loves to dance.  I used some of the techniques I found on the Tim Holtz Journey DVD.


Supplies Used

• 4 x 4 prepared canvas
• Distress Inks
• Versamark
• Copper embossing powder
• Grungepaper die cut with Tim Holtz Bigz dies and pre cut grungeboard shapes
• Glossy accents
• Charm
• Flower made from fantasy fibre cut with tattered floral Bigz die
• 2 Small hinges
• Beeswax

Technique

• Sponge various colours of distress paint over the canvas including the edges.  Wet a sponge but don't wring out and blend the colour over the canvas
• lightly touch Versamark to the edges and heat emboss with copper powder to give a distress look 
• Brush with melted Beeswax all over to give a nice covering
• colour the embellishments and coat with glossy accents, leave to dry - sprinkle with glitter or sparkle dust if you want at this stage
• join the pieces with tiny hinges before you attach the embellishments
• use Glossy accents to stick on the elements, flowers and charms
• Display

You could always join the pieces with chain or similar and have them hanging down for a piece of wall art.  Hope you like this it was fun to do x
