24 Lighted Canvas Tutorial

I want to thank both Small Bird Studios and Hello Hydrangea for featuring my cut canvas idea! This is in the top 5 of my favorite things made so far, and it's really opened up some more ideas for me.

I had a couple of blank canvas's that were calling my name so I was inspired make this cut canvas creation.

So I sketched out some clouds on the back of the canvas. When I stood the canvas up I was able to see through the canvas to my sketches easily follow my little pattern to create some clouds. For the clouds I just dipped the brush in several colors I wanted without mixing to much and swirled it into a half circle.

After I was done and my clouds had dried, I took an exacto knife and cut the top of my ridges on the clouds on the spots where I wanted the light to shine through more.

I was so happy with the way it turned out! And from the side it gave it a little added 3D bonus since the could ridges popped out a little bit.

Perfect addition to my daughters room. :)
