Have you discovered our Naturals Canvas embellishments yet? They are some of the most versatile elements on the market. You can stamp, paint, mist or ink them or even just leave them be and they add a fantastic natural texture to any project. Today our deisgn team has a few ideas to share...
Altered Frame by Lisa Swift
There is so much you can do with the canvas products in Little Yellow Bicycle's Naturals collection! I used a mix of canvas products to create an upcycled frame project.
I started with a trio of canvas daisies at the top of the frame. I cut small pieces from a strip of printed canvas tape to create banners beside the flowers.
To embellish the monogram itself, I used a canvas label sticker paired with the top from one of the Naturals wood stick pins (I just popped the wood portion off of the pin).
Lisa used elements of this package of Naturals Canvas Labels.
The bottom of the frame showcases the word "family" and the brackets from one of the Canvas Word packages. To finish this off, I used the Everyday stamp set to stamp the word "cherish" on a vellum banner.
Because I wanted an understated, classic look for this piece, I chose to stick with a neutral/white color palette. The Naturals canvas products can easily be stamped, inked or colored to match any project or decor.

Layout by Heather Leopard
I created this layout using the negative cuts from the paper hearts my daughter & I cut for her shirt to celebrate the 100th day of school. The canvas stickers were the perfect elements to anchor the rest of my page, from the canvas borders to the banner. The one thing I really like about the canvas elements is how easy it is to mist, paint and stamp on them to make them unique for whatever project I am working on.
Heather included this package of Naturals Canvas Flags on her project and used our Clear Stamps to add some of the wonderful words...
