Supplies: Canvas Banner Album (Maya Roads), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Chipboard (Lil Davis Designs), Misc. Buttons, Clips & Binder Rings (Office Supply Store)
To get the intense red colour on the chipboard letters I spray painted them white before inking with Staz-On ink. Spray paint is my go to method of covering chipboard of any kind with colour. It covers so nicely, doesn't dirty a single tool and gives me a smooth finish to work with. Staz-on colours show their true vibrance when used this way.
Here's one last peek before I send you over to the SRM Stickers blog for full design notes on the project.
One last thing before you go, I had a question about the stickers and if I used extra adhesive to get them to stick to the canvas. I did NOT use any extra adhesive on the stickers. I stuck them in place and rubbed over the entire surface with the back of my finger nail since I do not own a bone folder...why, I have no idea. They really are a staple and quite a nifty tool. Anyway, I digress. I gave them the extra little "touch" to make sure the adhesive fully grabbed the fibers of the canvas.
Any other questions, fire away in the comment section.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Hey there! I've been reading your website for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Atascocita Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the great work!
Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog!
This is gorgeous! I love finding bright, festive things at office supply stores. I'd even consider just making one of these with my name and leaving it up all the time. What have you done with yours?
Do you know Kollabora, the crafting and DIY community? I've been digging through there for ideas on sprucing up my new apartment, and I think this would make a great addition to their decor section.
