                           For my holiday inspiration project I created a burlap wall canvas.

I love, love, love this project and I'm very happy and thrilled with the way it turned out!  
I can't wait to make more!

Here's how I created my holiday burlap canvas.

step 1) I gathered all my supplies, which include a 12x12 burlap canvas, acrylic paint in red, gold and black, (didn't use any black in the end) red doily, I Am Roses flowers, a few sprays of holly berries and 2 gold flat snowflake ornaments.


Step 2 and 3) I cut out an image I chose on my Silhouette Cameo,  an adorable deer.  I used 12x12 white card stock to create a stencil mask. I then used only the outline from the image my Cameo cut and placed it over my burlap canvas and held it in place with washi tape.


Step 4) I decided to paint my deer, red.  I used a small foam brush and and my acrylic paint. I poured a small amount of the paint out onto my mat and made sure not to overload my brush with too much. I found daubing with the foam brush worked best. I then waited a few minutes for it to dry and went around the edges with just a little bit of gold paint.


Step 5) Time to decorate my R77, I Am Roses flowers. I decided to add a bit of gold to my white R77's. Once again I just used my foam brush and daubed the gold paint on.


Step 6) After my burlap canvas was dry I started layering the rest of my embellishments onto the canvas to get an idea of what and where I wanted things to go. I then decided I wanted more flowers and to add a bit more color. I decided to add a few small crotch flowers with pearl centers and a red and white R21's.


Step 7) Using hot glue, I adhered everything into place. I just love clustering I Am flowers together!!!
