Friendship Is Very Special!!

Hi, Friends,

I want to share something that I created for a special friend of mine....this can
be the best kind of gift.  It was also cool to make because I incorporated some
mixed media art into this  project.  So fun!!

 

1.  Apply your favorite color of scrapbooking or acrylic paint to
     to an 8" x 10" canvas using a sponge brush.  I used 1 coat.  Feel
     free to use more if you like.

2.  Adhere a complimentary color, 8 1/2" x 6 1/2", to the dried canvas
     after cutting the edges with decorative scissors.  I used Glue Dots®
     mini dots.  Note:  I used Glue Dots® mini dots throughout this
     project....except for a Glue Dots® pop up dot for the last step.

3.  I chose a favorite strip of patterned paper, 2" x 12" to adhere to the
     pink paper.

4.  Adhere a complimentary piece of patterned paper to a piece of chipboard.
     Both measure 6" x 4 1/4".

5.  Ink the edges around the entire piece of chipboard.

6.  Using a border punch, create 2 strips of trim, 4 1/4" long.  Adhere these
      to the top and bottom of your chipboard as shown above; then, adhere
      your decorated chipboard to the center of your design.

7.  Add your favorite sentiment by adhering it to the top of the canvas.

8.  Punch out 2 hearts to accent the sentiment.  I folded them as shown
     for added dimension.

9.  Last but not least, I adhered a chipboard flower to the center of my
     design using a Glue Dots® pop up dot.

Suppliese:  Canvas (Wal-Mart), Patterned Paper and Sentiment (DCWV), 
                  Chipboard flower (DCWV), Paint (Making Memories), Sponge Brush
                 (Making Memories), Ink (Colorbox), Heart Punch (Marvy),
                 and Glue Dots® mini dots and pop up dot.
          
I hope that you have the opportunity to make this for someone special!


Happy Crafting,
