You know I love playing with burlap and canvas. Canvas Corp challenged us to create something with a Spring theme this month. Canvas Corp has canvas and burlap in some beautiful bright happy colors, so when I received some to play with, I went through the rest of my stash to find a great home decor item to work with too. I knew I had a Canvas Corp banner in my stash, so I decided to create a “Welcome Spring” Banner. Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist works amazingly to color burlap.
I was even more excited to use my stash of old chipboard letters to create my WELCOME SPRING words. Tattered Angels new High Impact mixed media paint in Yellow added the perfect pop to my letters when painted directly onto the chipboard letters.
Canvas Corp Hemp rope cord was glued down for the stems and leaves as well as the hanging cord for the dowel, and strips of colored burlap and canvas were used to create the flowers.
Now I have a bright Welcome Spring Banner displayed in my downtown studio to welcome spring and guests.
