Good Morning!!!! Wanda here today to share a 4" x 6" burlap canvas I've created.
I began by spraying Color Wash sprays (denim, sailboat blue, lettuce) onto the canvas. While it was still damp, I scraped white embossing paste here and there, spreading it as flat as I could make it. This was left to dry completely. Next I added embossing paste through a stencil (Dreamweaver LJ907) in 3 areas and let it dry.
The quote, If you don't believe in miracles, is stamped onto a square of torn natural muslin using Archival Ink jet black and dried. I very lightly sprayed tumbled glass Distress Spray Stain over the square and dried it. This square is attached with brads to a piece of Warm & Natural cotton batting cut with pinking scissors. The next layer is a piece of corrugated packaging cut and torn to size. Next is a piece from my scrap box that was left from THIS tutorial. I cut the scrap to the size I wanted and even though it had paste, design and color on it already I ran it through an embossing folder (Elizabeth Craft Design 105 curvy leaves) and then used my finger to add a metallic rub (Treasure Gold) to help bring out the design. I also rubbed some around the canvas edges. I love that hint of metallic!! These layers were attached to the canvas as shown.
I tore a strip of muslin, colored it with Distress Inks, wrapped it around the canvas and tied a double bow. Over this I've glued a die cut flower (Elizabeth Craft Designs 964 Victorian Flower Set 1 and 965 Victorian Flower Overlay Set 1). The flowers were cut from soft finish cardstock, color added with Distress Inks, and a brad to hold them together. I had a left over leaf spray (Elizabeth Craft Designs 1034 Flourishes & Branches) already cut from manila cardstock. I inked it with Distress Inks, cut it up, and glued on the pieces. Finally I added a trinket pin, a mini paper clip, and a small heart embellishment. The heart was colored with a drop of slate alcohol ink.

Wow - I've never tried stamping on muslin before. I bet it's harder than it looks to get such a good crisp image like you've done here. Love those flowers too! Beautiful!
Thank you, Diana!!! You'll have to try it!!!
