Martha Stewart Craft Clay Frame Painted With Pearl Paint Mixed with Reinker

It is hard to find inexpensive, yet pretty home decor pieces.  So, I was pretty excited when I found these little stretched canvases at Jo-Ann’s on sale for $.50 each!  That meant that whatever I made with them would still fall into the low-cost category. The various ribbon pieces, papers, bitty pearls and the small amount of clay cost less than $5 all together.  What a great gift this will make!

Three Small Stretched Canvases Transformed Into A Single Piece of Art

By placing the canvases on top of the chipboard and cardstock base this 3-d piece of art already has a lot of depth to it.  When adding a clay frame and popped up letters, it makes it even more interesting to look at.  There is a lot of detail with big impact on a pretty small piece.  The overall dimensions are based on the scrap piece of chipboard I used to mount the three canvases.  It is about 9″ long and a little less than 5″ high.  The ribbon lace across the canvases ties them together, yet still allows each one to stand as its own little creation.
