I really wanted to broaden my experiences this year and try some new projects off the page. So when I saw some subway art in a magazine I couldn't resist. I bought some small (6 x 6) canvas to start with. I Glimmer Misted the the canvas with wheat color first. The Cricut "Word Collage" gave me ready made stencils that I love! I tried the coffee collage for my test canvas. I made the stencil out of cardstock, and used a temporary bond spray adhesive. Directions that have seen elsewhere say too use the vinyl, but I didn't have any. I have used stencils cut out of cardstock before. Unfortunately I don't think I had enough glue on the stencil, so it didn't stick to the canvas and some of the letters blurred.
To finish it off I chalked the edges with a few shades of light brown chalking ink. Now I just nee to decide where to hang it!
