So Michelle and I were introduced to the new Sticky Back Canvas made by Claudine Hellmuth for Ranger. 

(she was the one that cleverly came up with 'bringing sticky back') hahah

There are so many things you can do with this product!!!  I actually have her paintbrushes and gesso in the studio line as well. They do NOT disappoint. It is so much fun to work with them. 

Click on the link below to watch a neat video, the lady briefly goes over all the things you can do with the canvas and the gesso. They also show you how to make beautiful fabric pins!

Here are some of the things I have created with this line so far. 

The ladies above were cut out of sewing pattern packages. They were then coated with a light layer of gesso on the back (dipping the paintbrush in water first), laid on the sticky back canvas. Then, laying down another coat ontop and around the images, adhering them to the canvas. You can leave the edges plain or ink them to make them pop. On my text balloons, I even took my fingernail and pulled at the threads of the canvas to distress them somewhat. 

Here is where I actually put the canvas in my printer and printed on it! So awesome!!! 

This is a page out of a commissioned album I am working on. I stamped directly on the canvas and stuck it straight onto the page. I bet it would look really cool to paint on the canvas first, then stamp! 

If anyone else has worked with this Studio line, please share your creations with us! 

Have a wonderful, creative week all!
