Instructions  

(1) Working over your Non-Stick Craft Sheet, dab Acrylic Paint Dabber in Shell Pink onto canvas until covered. You can also unscrew the cap, pour a small amount onto your Non-Stick Craft Sheet and apply with a paintbrush. Apply two coats, allowing paint to dry in between.

(2) Using the Acrylic Paint Dabber in Espresso, paint the wooden letter G. Set aside to dry.

(3) With your foam stamps, stamp the remaining letters i-r-l-S in the lower left corner. Simply dab Espresso directly onto your stamp until covered, and stamp onto canvas. Immediately clean stamps with water or stamp cleaner.

(4) Next, you are going to take your Espresso Dabber, using a direct-to-surface method, make some dots randomly on the canvas. Just place the dabber on the surface, dab 3-4 times then use the dabber to swirl the paint into a nice, round circle.
Let dry.

(5) Mount your photo with glue stick to dark brown cardstock, leaving a 1/8” border, and trim off any excess cardstock. Place four square Pop It Shapes on back, then place on your canvas in the upper right corner, at an angle.

(6) Using the self-adhesive metal letters, apply the word “FUN” in the upper left corner.

(7) In the lower right corner, apply N-I-T-E tiles to the canvas using Glossy Accents. Then apply the long bradz right through the canvas. (HINT: for tiles that are over the wood frame of the canvas, I simply broke off the brad ends, and glued the brad “head” on top with Glossy Accents).

(8) Finish up with a clip (mine says “Priceless”) on the photo, and you have a fantastic gift or home decor memento of your fun girls nite out!
