This is an 8"x10" canvas. I used SU's fluid Chalk to add color to the canvas. I used unmounted stamps because they need to be pliable. I stamped swirls and leaves in a darker shade of green on the green section. I then used the same stamps to stamp in brown on the yellow section. Use the heat gun after the addition of each color to speed up the drying process. Stamp the words down the left hand side over the green leaves and swirls. I stamped a border in between the green and yellow color blocking. Mat your photo and adhere it to the canvas with glue dots. Attach photo hangers using the Crafters Tool Kit. I attached the label holder with glue dots because of the wood frame that is used to stretch the canvas. This turned out very nice. I have already started on another one. I wish I had started these before Christmas, Oh well, I can get a head start on next year.

using your piece, as my inspiration. I love the background. came out beautiful. what is fluid chalk and how did you adhere it to the frame. did you use a sponge to get such an even coat all the way around.
