I made my first canvases this week!
There's a blank wall in my entryway that I thought would look good with a little Christmas art. When I saw the Santa file on my Silhouette group, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I went to Michael's and picked up some canvases (value bundle pack) to decorate, prepped them with some white acrylic paint, and then vinyled them. Of course, Santa couldn't be alone, he had to have his buddy, Rudolph, with him.
So happy with how they both turned out! I may be slightly hooked on this "canvas" thing now. :)
The Santa artwork is originally from Pottery Barn and someone in the group was kind enough to share the file with us. Rudolph, I created after seeing a beautiful wall hanging in the "Land of Nod" catalog.
I had a few requests for a tutorial on how I made Rudolph, so I learned how to use iMovie... with the help of my 9 year-old son. Guess I have finally crossed the threshold into "old fart" territory.
Here's how I made Rudolph:
Hope this helps give you all some tips and tricks!
