Tips & Techniques: Prima Resist Canvas

We have a new item in the store that'll add some really COOL flair to your next project! They're Resist Canvas embellishments from Prima, and we have them in two styles! I used them on the (now sold out) Limited Edition Album last month, and took pics along the way so you all could see just how cool these things are.

 They are little pieces of canvas with designs embossed on them, and when you spray them with Glimmer Mist or Smooch Spritz, the embossed design stays light while the rest of the canvas soaks up the color! Here's a little before & after shot of a small selection of the pack I opened.

And here's how you do it:
Fist, choose the embellishment you want and grab your spray. Spray enough on your piece to completely cover it, or choose two or three colors and make sure that between the three the piece has been fully covered.



Gently wipe off any excess spray and blot your piece with a rag or paper towel. Continue with the next color if using more than one color.


Next, you can distress it even more with some distress ink. Here I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in Walnut Stain, and dabbed it around the edges with the ink applicator (either the foam or felt ones should work!)



And voila! Your piece is complete! Here is a close up of the before & after:


 And another close up of some different styles:


Each piece is unique with a different pattern embossed on the front, and each pack contains 31 pieces. You just need a strong adhesive (I used Glue Dots) to attach them to your project. That's it!
