Art Party: Canvas (Crystal Barrett)

Hello! It’s Crystal with Pineapple Papers and I am up today on the Crafty Maven Getaway YouTube Channel with something a little bit different. I have been cleaning and organizing my craft room all week. I ran across this canvas from Crate Paper. I got it on clearance for $2.99 at Ross of all places. It has been sitting in my stash for probably a year. It was time to either make it or pass it on.

So I am going to play with it today. The letters are gold and designed to resist any media. It says watercolor but I am going to use distress oxide instead. I am using the packaging technique with colors: Abandoned Coral and Peacock Feathers. I did use my heat gun to dry in between colors.

I topped it off with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine in gold. Once everything was dry I added sprinkles of water to let the oxide do its thing!

I finished the canvas off with just some left over bits and bobs hanging out on my desk. I really love how it turned out. It will be a great addition to my crafty space.
