Altered Canvas

I made this altered canvas for a message board friend. It is to display a photo of her granddaughter. I really wanted it to say Wild About You!, but the background paper competed with the letters too much. The only way to notice it at all made it too overbearing, so I decided to leave the words off and add the feathers. These altered canvases are super fun to make. My daughter has made a couple for friends. We got a great deal on a 10 pack of 8x10 canvases, so they are inexpensive too. Courtney has been doing them with Modge Podge, but I used Yes Paste. I liked the results. There was no crinkling or bubbling using the Yes paste, and you have the normal paper texture without the Modge Podge. I added feathers, a stick pin, gold paint dabber around the edges, a mat, and the flowers. Some of the flowers are Primas with ice stickles and gem centers, but some were fun to make. The two larger flowers were made out of recycled dryer sheets. I cut circlkes out of the used dryer sheets, added a brad to the center, and then sprayed them with glimmer mist. I like the end result and hope you do too.
