Happy Saturday, my crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today to share a canvas that I made to celebrate Autumn. I love making decor pieces like this. They don’t require a ton of supplies and really come together so easily.
I used some Distress paint to create the background along with a stencil and a Gold embossing paste. Once all that was dry I went over the edges with PanPastel in Copper.
To create the tree I downloaded a cut file from my Silhouette. (This one is called Leafless Bare Tree by Alaa’K.) I cut it 4 times out of Kraft cardstock, stacked each one on top of each other and adhered them together with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable. Then I stamped it with Versamark using a woodgrain stamp, and went over it again using PanPastels in Copper and Bronze. (I’m sorry that my photos don’t show how pretty and shimmery the tree looks from this.)
I cut tiny strips from my roll of white Crafty Foam Tape to apply under the tree. And I tucked some Fall Leaf Sequins from Lawn Fawn under the branches. I also used some of the 3D Foam Leaves, applied some glitter, and tucked those into some branches as well. So sparkly!
To finish it off I used the Silhouette again to cut the word “Autumn” out of some glitter paper. I adhered this down using some of the thin, small white 3D Foam Squares that I cut in half. I also tied a bow around my little tree using some hemp twine and secured it in place using a Dodz™ – small.
This is a very easy canvas to make and will be fun to hang up for this Fall Season.

Tutorial
3. Place the die cut yellow backing piece from Step 2 over the die cut Adhesive Sheet on the canvas. Tape into place.
Once you’ve added the Google Eyes, cover the rest with glitter. Tap excess. If you have an embossing buddy, use that to wipe the glitter off of the google eyes!
