Dreams in plans canvas

Hello Everyone! Sorry I have not been posting as often as I said I would. I have been kinda busy the last few weeks, but now that things are starting to slow down, I'm hoping to get back into posting again. Today's post is something I made for my little sister for Christmas this past December. Here is what you need...

- Canvas (size doesn't matter)
-Paint (in colours you prefer)
-Markers
-Stamps
-Glue
-Printer and Printer paper
-Scrapbook paper

Step 1:
Paint the canvas in your desired color. I have painted mine purple because I wanted the figure of the girl to pop. You can decide on your own what color you wish to paint the canvas.

Step 2:
Choose a font and font size to create the saying "She turned her cant's into cans and her dreams into plans". Next, cut each word out and glue to the dry canvas.

Step 3:
Find some sayings you want to include on your canvas. For the one I made for my sister, I wrote, in purple marker "Suivez votre coeur" (Follow your heart) and "believe". I also wrote some numbers down the sides. Next, take a lighter color of the color you painted the canvas and blot it onto the canvas. (see picture)

Step 4:
Once that is dry, you can start putting the girl onto the canvas. To do this I printed out a picture of a silhouette and traced it onto the canvas. Next, I painted it black. Once that was dry, I took some scrapbook paper to make the shirt and hair. For the skirt, I googled sheet music and just printed some off. I crumpled it up and ripped it into my desired length of strips. Glue all of these on in the desired areas. If regular glue doesn't work, use a glue gun.

Step 5:
Once it is completely dry, use a clear gloss protective sealer so it will protect all your hard work. Just a light coat will be good. Leave it to dry and then wrap it up as a gift or hang it some place in your home!
Happy Crafting!!!!!
