Paint the canvas with the Sailboat Blue and Cloudy Blue Dabbers.
Paint the chipboard letters with the Pitch Black paint dabber.
When the canvas is dry, use the craft iron set on “High” to iron the pieces of Copper Glue Foil to the edges of the canvas. Do the short edges first, wrapping the foil around the corners slightly. Then iron on the long edges.
Use a hammer to distress the copper on the edges of the canvas. Rub black paint over the copper edging, making sure to get it in all of the crevices. Buff off the excess with a paper towel.
Cut a piece of Glue Film slightly smaller than the main image, and use the craft iron to iron the image to the canvas using the Glue Film.
Use smaller pieces of Glue Film to attach the chipboard and ribbon, again using the iron-on method.
To attach the game tiles, metal letters, key, rosette and glass pebbles, cut pieces of Glue Film slightly smaller than the object being adhered. Use the heat gun to warm the area of the canvas where the object will be attached, then place the piece of Glue Film on the heated area. Heat the Glue Film again with the heat gun, then firmly press the object into place.
Once the canvas has cooled, it’s ready to be hung! No more long drying times!

Helpful Hints: Before beginning the project, make sure that all of the items you will be using are can take a heat application.
