Hello, Anneke here.
This is already my last post as a guest designer for the eclectic Paperie blog.
For today I decorated a burlap canvas with fabric flowers. These canvases are available in the eP shop (click) in different sizes. Mine is 6"x6".
I covered the burlap with a subtle layer of gesso first.
To decorate the canvas I used 2 kinds of linen fabric, a few paint chip samples and some packaging material that's a little different form corrugated cardboard.
I colored the fabric with Dylusions Ink Sprays.
Glued a strip of the 'cardboard' at the bottom of the canvas.
Cut two circles out of the fabric for each flower.
For the flower centres I used some linen cord .
Cut the stems and leaves out of paint chip samples.
Supplies from the eP shop

Great canvas and so clever of you to use those paint chips. I was painting over the weekend and looked at my swatch samples, thinking "hmmm, maybe I could make something with these..." and you did it! Awesome!
