Mod Podge Canvas Art

This year I absolutely loved the picture on the giftbag my hubby received for father's
day.  I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I decided I would mount it on canvas.

Supplies -

11 x 14 canvas

Mod Podge

Paint

Picture

I painted the whole canvas a color that complimented the picture.  I wasn't completely
happy with the results, so I pulled out my floating medium & mixed it with a darker
shade of the blue I had used.  I applied that mixture with a dry brush from left to right,
right to left, top to bottom, then finally bottom to top until I achieved a faux denim pattern.
(the canvas now looks like a comfy pair of worn out blue jeans - yay!)

After the paint was dry, I applied a liberal layer of mod podge onto the canvas.
I centered the picture on the canvas and made sure I pressed it down firmly.
I then applied another liberal layer of mod podge over the picture & canvas.
(be sure to let your mod podge dry completely before displaying)

I saved a super cute picture from the trash and have a new
piece of wall art that I'm totally loving right now!

Do you have a giftbag or greeting card that you just can't throw away?
