French Ad Canvas


I'm finally getting close to having the house ready for sale, so I got a few hours to play. This is a canvas I did using the same image as from the french heart. The image is available from the Graphics Fairy, of course.
I just take a plain artists canvas, wrap it with burlap (stapled on the back), then paint on black paint (I used blackboard paint because a) that what I had, and b) it's very opaque, and sticks well. Then I took the image (I had a few extra that came out the wrong size for the heart), and tore around it, very unevenly. I used the usual Super 77 adhesive and my worn out ink pad to add extra dimension. A little clear spray finish and done. Super easy.

I was surprised to get a wholesale order for the french hearts from a fairly well known website - I'm pretty excited about that. I've wholesaled them to friends here in Colorado, but this is my first wholesale order from outside the state. Yippee!
