Hi, Judy here today! I put together this bright cheery little 3D Floral Friendship Canvas using heat embossed shapes from 3D Foam Garden Shapes. I think it turned out so cute!
Friendship Canvas Background and Verse
Cut Summer Fun paper 3.5 x 3.5 inches to fit the canvas. Stamp verse with black ink on the top left corner. Designer’s Tip: Use a stamp positioner for stamping to get good image.
Apply strips of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in along all the back edges and one to two strips in the center. Peel away the liners and secure it to the 4 x 4 inch stretched canvas.
Create the Ground
Cut piece of medium brown cardstock about 2.75 x .75 inches and cut as shown in photo. Use brush with brown watercolor to add shading or use medium brown brush marker. Apply adhesive to back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten on canvas.
Glaze Garden Shapes
Flower Pot – Remove pail shape from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes and cut off handle to make the pot. Place it on non stick craft mat, peel the liner away and cover with Rusty Hinge Distress Embossing Glaze. Tap off the excess and melt with heat tool. Heat evenly by moving the tool until the glaze melts. Set aside to cool.
Flowers – Place three flowers from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes on the non stick craft mat with at least inch between them. Remove one flower’s center liner, cover with Wild Honey Distress Embossing Glaze, remove excess and heat with heat tool to emboss. Next, repeat glazing steps with the flower petals and the Distress Embossing Glaze Broken China. Now glaze the other two flowers using Distress Spice Marmalade Embossing Glaze on for the centers and Distress Embossing Glaze Abandoned Coral for one and Distress Embossing Glaze Picked Raspberry for the other one.
Leaves – Remove three “rain drops” from 3D Foam Garden Shapes and place on non stick craft sheet. Repeat embossing process using Distress Embossing Glaze Crushed Olive.
Butterflies – Use same process to glaze two butterflies. Color one with Distress Embossing Glaze Wilted Violet and other with Distress Embossing Glaze Spice Marmalade. As butterflies cool, pull wings away from craft sheet so they will hold that shape when fully cooled.
Assembly
Place flower pot on brown ground and press in place. Adhere it with a small square from 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of each flower. Peel away the liners and place flowers above the pot. Use tweezers to pick up leaves and place near flowers. Cut small square from 3D Foam Squares White Mix in half, place each half on the back of each butterfly. Then adhere them on the canvas.
Place your canvas on an easel for display. I hope this 3D Floral Friendship Canvas tutorial inspires you to give it a try!
