Step-by-Step Instructions

Paint top of canvases with metallic nickel paint. Alll to dry thorougly.
Use the Xryon Create and Cut Plus software with the Xyron Wishblade and follow the instructions for welding words. Choose the font of your choice using any true type font.

Adhere the words on the canvas as desired. Paint over the canvases again using the dark plum color. Make sure to use gentle strokes when painting around the words. It is best to use less paint and add layers of color. Let dry thoroughly. Then take off words.
Use Xyron Create and Cut software with the Xyron Wishblade to draw long ovals. You will need to layer a small oval on top of a large oval. These will be used a the center flower design on the canvases. Cut the ovals onto cardstock. Run the cut ovals thru the Xyron 9" Creative Station with repositionable adhesive.
Lay canvases in desired shape and then place ovals onto corners of canvases to make a flower design. Use the light, medium and dark paints to gently layer color over canvases until desired effect is achieved.
Carefully remove cardstock from dry ccanvases and use paint to tough up any areas where needed. (Let the layers dry between painting and using small amounts of paint at a time are key to success of thei project.)
