Instructions:
- Spray a light coat of blue paint over entire canvas. Let dry.
- Using a paper towel, add green dye to bottom of canvas. Let dry.
- Make clouds with blue and white clay. Layer colors, then fold and flatten clay until you achieve swirl effect. Roll out flat and cut cloud-like patterns. Bake according to package instructions.
- Use BonBons to make pom poms of various sizes. Wrap yarn several times around a scrap piece of cardboard (the larger the cardboard the larger the pompom). Tie off wrapped yarn with a separate piece of yarn in opposite direction. Remove from cardboard and snip loops with scissors. Trim the pompom to desired size. Apply to canvas with tacky glue.
- Cut scrapbook paper into flower shapes with die cut. Use Mod Podge to adhere flowers to canvas. Try using different papers for petals and center of each flower. Take a second outer flower piece and apply Mod Podge to its center. Fold petals up to create 3D effect. Allow Mod Podge to dry completely. Place 3 dots in center of each flower with Beads in a Bottle.
- Use Beads in a Bottle to create stems and leaves. Let dry.
- Adhere metallic butterfly stickers to canvas.
- Wrap canvas edge with the tape to finish.
