Sticky back canvas anyone?

Hi there my crafty friends, Hope you're all fine and fit and if not hope you are soon!
 The wishing well for this week at the Craft Barn was a request from Sarah.............................

 I have seen a lot of posts around blogland recently which use sticky back canvas. I would love to have an idea what to do or make with it before I buy any!


So I've been having a go, first time I've used this product too. I thoroughly enjoyed playing. This is what I made


 Two drawing books for my grand daughters, I used Claudine Hellmuth's sticky back canvas , stamped onto it with memento black and used Copics to intensify the shaded areas. The pink version I painted with Eco green acrylic paints and then embellished with Beadazzels. I cut them out very raggedly and frayed them, I loved the texture of the canvas. The girls loved them too, we went out to the park and they were drawing away happily for the journey, success :0)

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed using the canvas and I'm glad I've got lots left for more projects, I'd like to try it on a rounded surface next. At the Craft Barn Neil has done just that and there are more great samples from the team. TTFN Gay x

    Fab projects Gay! I love the daisies, they've stamped so well on the canvas. I have some of this stashed away and have hardly used it in card making...must get it out :)

    These are gorgeous journal covers, Gay! I'm not surprised your granddaughters loved them. The texture of the flowers on canvas is very inspirational to drawing.
