I LOVE working with Canvas and Prima does it so well! I've got two projects to show you here.....
First up is the MISTABLE CANVAS SHEETS- Wow this was really SOMETHING to work with. I've looked at them before and wondered what they were 'reeeeeeeelly' like, and so glad I took the chance finally.
What a treat this turned out to be!!!
Here's where you will find this particular one in the shop (and here are other designs too -just scroll down a bit. I'm going to get more!!)
I didnt cut out the shapes first because I wanted the different coloured mists to kinda overlap each other a bit to make them look more 'variegated' if that makes sense (Sorry bout the pic, but its a night-time shot-it doesnt show colour properly - just wanted it dry for the next day)
(Now its morning and better colour and light!!) I've cut the flowers and leaves out and arranged them how I thought they would look
But what I thought would look cute were little crocheted 'stamens' and some wonderful kindyglitz for the edges of both the leaves and flowers!
Then I did a spray mist splotch on some Kraft and held it up so the extra mist ran down the cardstock - they made the stems for the flowers!
SECONDLY - Is the Screen Printed Canvas - I love the colours in this... I'm adding this paper to the mix Annalee Collection 'Parlor'
I've cut out most of the lengths in this, inked and overlapped the pieces.
Then I've inked onto the canvas to mimic around the border of these overlapped strips so it gives a bit of shadow definition when the LO is put together. And I've placed a cut-out photo of little Hannah on the butterfly to give her 'wings'

Awesome! I picked up a couple of the canvas sheets at Camp Mojo, but haven't had a chance to play yet (and I wasn't really quite sure what to do with them either!) - I'm inspired now!
I love how you cut around your photos - I've never tried it before but will have to remember to give it a go next time. I really love the colours in the second layout too!

Thanks girls...
I do a lot of cutting around photos Christine. But usually its because 1. they are photos I print myself or 2. they have yucky backgrounds that have no significance.
The photo in the orange canvas - had a not so great brick wall behind Hannah as we were staying at a holiday shack - so was happy to cut it away.
