Welcome to My Kitchen...

Hi.....Canvas Corp Brands Fans!!
Lynne Forsythe here....
Have you seen the NEW Farmhouse Kitchen Collection?
It is AMAZING.
I think my favorite item in the Collection
is the Farmhouse Kitchen Fabric Panel.
A 13" X 17" piece of Printed Canvas.

Now....anyone who knows my style,
knows I rip, tear and crumple
EVERYTHING!
But....I had the hardest time
cutting into this panel!
I heard myself say....It's only paper!!
(which I am famous for saying!!)
but it's not paper it's CANVAS.
However, as my idea for a Kitchen Banner
grew in my head, I KNEW I could do this...
So the TEARING began!

The base of my banner is
(2) Burlap Shape ~ Pockets and
(1) Canvas Shape ~ Pocket.
I rumpled the shapes to fray the edges.

I chose the images I wanted from the

Kitchen Farmhouse  Fabric Panel
cut into the canvas,
and tore the squares,
approximately 4.5".
I even pulled out my Tattered Floral die
and cut (3) Medium Flowers.

To accent the "Farmhouse" flower
I roughly painted a section of  a 12 x 12 Burlap Sheet
with Tattered Angels ~ Black High Impact Paint
and die cut (3) Medium Flowers.
I took a Red Burlap Flower and
cut off the back layer, then cut it in half.
I spritzed it with water
and painted Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam
Calm Before the Storm around the edges
and tucked it behind the flower layers.

I accented all 3 flowers clusters with 16" separated pieces of
Red, Black and Natural Jute
tied into "loopy bows"
and matching antique buttons.

I used little pieces of
Tile Printed Burlap
Tile Printed Canvas
Black E-Flute
Black Burlap Fringe
and Ivory Burlap Fringe

that had been torn,
or rumpled and frayed
and tucked them behind the torn pieces of
Farmhouse Kitchen Fabric Panel.

I stamped on torn pieces of canvas
with Archival Ink and finished off the
banner with chipboard letters
painted with Tattered Angels ~ Black High Impact Paint
accented with  Red and Black Clothespins.

I hope you enjoyed my creative journey....
