Butterfly Tag Canvas with Imagination Crafts

Hi Everyone

We have a lovely day here in South Wales.  I hope you are enjoying the same.

Today's project has been created using Imagination Crafts fabulous Rusty Patina paints to give both texture and colour.  I hope you like it.  So let's get started!




 What I Did

  • First step is to get a small canvas, a chipboard tag and some cardboard.  You could you use the cardboard to cut the tag from also


  • Take the tag together with the  Wood Grain stencil and smooth the structure paste through the design.  Dry.  Clean stencil.




  • Using the Weathered Wash stencil add design to the canvas background edges.  Dry.  Clean stencil.




  • Tear some random strips from the cardboard exposing the ridges and glue to canvas.  Also glue a larger piece of cardboard to the rear of the tag to add depth.  Glue tag in to position.  Dry.





  • For the next stage I added some glue drips to the tag and canvas and covered them with Artsy Stones.  I also glued on some flat backed glass stones.  Dry.



  • Use the Rusty Patinas in Café Crème and Verdigris and mix tog3ethr to form a mid shade of pale green.  Paint over the entire piece.  Dry.





  • Now use the Verdigris and dry brush over some areas to begin building the layers of colour.


  • Next add the Rustique colour to your chosen areas.




  • It's time to start adding the highlights with the Café Crème colour using a foam sponge/cut an use foam.  Dry.



  • Using a sponge or a brush add some Starlight Wax in White Gold to add top highlights an to finish around the canvas edges.


  • The final step is to use the rice paper butterflies.  Cut out roughly and glue to some white card.  Cut out and add to the centre tag to finish.


  • Voila.  C'est fini!
