Burlap Canvas

I found these burlap canvases a while ago and loved the idea of creating something with them.


I used: 
Soho Subway Designer Series Paper, 
Very Vanilla card stock, 
Gorgeous Grunge and Beautifully Baroque stamp sets,
Spiral Flower Die and Big Shot,
Chevron Border Punch,
Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon
Natural chevron ribbon 
Island Indigo Stampin' Write Marker
Crisp Cantaloupe twine
Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons
Crisp Cantaloupe, Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, and Crumb Cake stamp pads
Hot glue gun and Snail Adhesive
Bone Folder




Some tips for making these canvases:
-When stamping the images (with the exception of the Baroque stamp in Crumb Cake ink), I'd recommend stamping the image on scrap paper first to achieve a lighter tone to the ink.  
-A bone folder was utilized to rough up the edges of the paper and give a vintage look.
