Christmas Canvas class

Hi! I wanted to show you what I'll be teaching at the Scrappers Delight event in November. We will make this cute 16x20 canvas using acrylic paints and a bit of scrapbook paper. Now you may look at this and think that you can't create such an adorable piece of artwork, but I promise that I've broken this down so that anybody can paint it. Just think of the Christmas gifts you can make using this simple design.





Here are a few things that you will need to bring to class.
1. scissors
2. piece of sandpaper 100 grit
3. glue I prefer mono multi
4. a black scrapbook marker and a Sharpie
5. it's important to bring a 3\4 inch flat paint brush and a #2 flat brush. I got this variety pack at Hobby Lobby and it has everything you need in it. The brand is Loew Cornell and the pack style is#2112 . You can see the number in the top right corner of the pack.

Also if you want to trace a pattern so that you can make more of these, bring a 1\2 piece of poster board and a pencil to class.

If you want to know more about this event or you would like to sign up for this class or any of the others you can check it out HERE

I love the Christmas canvas and adore the Family album below. I will call the store and order a kit... must find the number. Would love to be there but live in Green Bay WI. Share as much of the inside of the album as you can on your site and I promise to be a faithful follower.
