My canvas was stretched and sagging and I wanted to use it some way so I found a piece of corrugated board that was packing material and I pulled off the sheet of paper over the ridges and then painted some black acrylic paint here and there. Our sponsors for the month of August are: Canvas Corp and Altered Pages. I used bits and pieces from each company to Up-Cycle the canvas. I think it turned out pretty well and I love the craft and black colors!
Below is a photo of the wonderful prize package from Canvas Corp for Challenge #13!

I just love the color palette you chose for this wonderful canvas! The black and kraft go together so well! The corrugated board adds another layer of beautiful texture, too. Your work is always a treat for the eyes, my friend!

Absolutely gorgeous
Love the layers and the textures. . .and the colors. The overall balance and design are fantastic. . .you definitely gave that bit of cardboard and torqued canvas a upcycle makeover! Beautiful work! Always enjoying seeing the masterful designs you come up with!
Glenda, I looked this morning and you had no posting, I am so sorry that it posted and I haven't been back. Love your piece, love the idea of using up the things we hoard. Your word sentiments are right on! What an inspirational piece, you should put it on an easel! Have a beautiful Tuesday!

This is AWESOME! I just love how your put different elements together to create a masterpiece! It's been awhile since I've altered something ... now to find a block of time so I can join in! Thanks for the inspiration! GREAT job!
Glenda, like you said great minds think alike....love your upcylce project, love the colors and all the sayings you were able to use.
I have cupboards and drawers full of things that need to be upcycled. Great project for this challenge, Glenda! Love how you painted the corrugated cardboard and dressed up your canvas. I like the "create everyday", too. Now, there's a great idea!
Gorgeous canvas! Love the corrugated cardboard background! The vintage image is darling! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fantastic. Love the vintage image mixed with the black, the cardboard and burlap. Great mix of textures
SO amazing! Love your use of cardboard and burlap and your colours are fantastic! Great sentiment tags too! :)
You are so smart! I always toss those saggy canvases back into the box and hunt for a better one! But you breathed life into it! I love this...esp. the cardboard background!
Love the black and kraft color scheme Glenda! Really lovely way to repurpose a sprung canvas.
I love how you up-cycled this into a gorgeous project! <3
So impressed with your solution to the saggy 'canvas' - I'm one of those who would have dismantled it and restretched it and cussed the whole time. LOL You make something super special from it. Very very nice work!
I really like the cardboard on the canvas! Love the combination of the Altered Pages image with the products from the Canvas Corp. Thanks for a great blog hop!
