Fall Canvas for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts


Hello again!  Today I'm sharing this Fall Canvas that I created in one afternoon for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts using some of their chipboard sets and some of the yummy fall flowers, foliage and ribbons that I purchased earlier this season for my projects.  I love how this turned out and it was so quick and easy!  Yes, I really did make it in one afternoon.  I have a step by step photo tutorial over on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts blog today.  I hope you'll check it out.

I've added the supply list and instructions for you here:

Supply List:


Step 1:  Lay out your chipboard pieces that you wish to use on your canvas.  I placed mine on some paper towels for quicker clean up!


Step 2:  Apply Embossing Ink (I use a dabber) on your chipboard pieces.  Do one piece at a time and sprinkle each piece with different gold embossing powders.  I think I used 3 or 4 different ones.  Heat emboss to completely cover the chipboard pieces.
In the photo above of the acorns, you can see that I used two different golds with more texture to the gold on the top of the acorns.




Use different gold powders and some with texture like what I used on the pumpkins above.

For the crow, I used gold powder that had a bit of blue in it.


Step 3:  Ink the canvas with brown tone Distress Inks.  You can leave the center light or not inked as that will be covered up.


Step 4:  Cut and ravel a piece of canvas fabric and glue down onto the canvas.



Step 5:  Start layering and gluing down the chipboard pieces. (I used Beacon 3-in-1 glue)


Step 6:  Next, add ink to the fabric around the chipboard pieces.  Then, select various fall foliage, flowers and a bow  for your canvas piece.  Arrange and glue them to the canvas using hot glue.


Step 7:  Glue three of the chipboard acorns onto the flowers.

Step 9:  Keep adding ink to get the color you want for your fabric and add in bits of embossing ink & powder to get a spattered effect.
I added in some black Distress Ink and then brushed in some white Gesso.  Keep adding until the background is a color that you like.  I would have added in some orange or yellow but did not have those colors in ink nor paint.

Step 10:  Glue on some decorative metal pieces to the corners if desired. I used Glossy Accents to attach these pieces to my main canvas.  Then add splotches of gold embossing powder (added to the main canvas with Embossing Ink Dabber) and heat emboss.


Your Fall Canvas piece is finished and ready to be displayed.

Here's a closer look at it on my worktable...




And for you Graphic 45 lovers, I will have another post later today sharing my Little Darlings mini baby album that I designed.  There will be a video tutorial for it and you can also check it out on the Graphic 45 blog later this morning. 

Happy Crafting!
