Happy Tuesday Everyone! I am here today to bring you a new way to make some gorgeous flowers using Ranger Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas. Here is a picture of this wonderful product:
This comes in 12x12 sheets, as well as 8.5x11 sheets. So let's get started!
Step 1:
The first step for this project is going to be cutting your initial flower shapes. You can use a free form shape you create on your own, or you can do like I did and use your die cutting system and some flower shape dies to obtain the desired shape for your flower. I am using 4 different sizes for this flower.
Tip: Create a sandwich of patterned paper (I used Little Yellow Bicycle Clothesline), then Ranger Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas, then patterned paper for best results in obtaining a clean cut. You will be using the patterned paper or cardstock if you choose in a later step.
Step 2:
Take your cut flowers and peel off the backing from the canvas and adhere the matching patterned paper to the back. You will do this for all the flowers you have cut.
Step 3:
Using Maya Mist spray the canvas side of the flower with the colors of your choice. You will do this for all the flowers you have cut.
Tip: At this point, I cut in on my petals to change the shape just a bit.
Step 4:
In this step you are going to layer up your flowers. Alternate them so one layer shows the canvas, the next your patterned paper. You can do all canvas showing as well, but I found the alternation to be pretty. Punch a hole in the middle of your flower using the Crop-A-Dile and then hold together with a brad.
Tip - To finish off the look of this flower, scrunch and manipulate the petals a bit to give them a bit more dimension and realistic feel.
There you have it! I love using the Ranger Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas because it not only takes paints, mists, and anything else you put on it really well, but it also gives such yummy texture to your projects or in this case embellishment. Hope you head on over to the store and pick up some Ranger Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas so you can start creating these lovey flowers and anything else your imagination can bring!
Happy Scrappin' ~ Scarlett
