Instructions  

Steps for Canvas Background:
(1)
Rub Distress Ink pads directly on to canvas surface – be sure to ink front as well as edges of canvas.

(2) Mist canvas with Mini Mister filled with water.

(3) Cut a square of Cut n’ Dry Foam and wipe across inked canvas to blend the ink.

(4) Repeat with additional colors to achieve desired look; re-wet as needed.

(5) Let canvas dry.

Steps for Beeswax Collage:
(6)
Insert Project Pan into Melting Pot.

(7) Fill pan with White Beeswax to fill line.

(8)
Set temperature of Melting Pot to 150 degrees and allow wax to melt completely

(9) Brush a thin layer of wax over entire dry inked canvas to seal in ink.

(10) Cut out photo and various words and/or ephemera.

(11) Ink edges with Distress Ink using Cut n’ Dry Foam.

(12) Place photo image onto canvas and brush additional layers of beeswax over the top. Note: wax will turn cloudy at first but then turn clear when cool.

(13) Repeat waxing all ephemera, brushing thicker layers of wax in various areas of canvas to create texture.

(14) Brush a small amount of beeswax next to photo and attach wings to canvas.

(15) Let waxed canvas cool completely.

Steps for Glazing with Paint Dabbers:
(16)
Apply dabber paints over waxed canvas and wipe away excess paint using Cut n’ Dry Foam. Note: lightly mist with Mini-Mister and water to dilute paint if needed.

(17) Use Craft Scraper as needed to remove any heavily painted waxed areas to reveal images.
