1. Protect work area with a plastic sheet. Spritz Canvas with water. Spray Butterscotch Color wash 2/3 times then cover remainder with Espresso allowing colours to blend, add more colour if required, allow to dry or use a Heat Gun to speed up the process. Using a piece of Sequin Waste apply Paint Dabbers in Sandal and Espresso randomly, gently rub Dabbers over edges if desired.

2. Select 15 tiles from the DaVinci Tiles Paper you wish to use and cut out. Cut out 24x4.2cm x4.2cm pieces of Cover Board, the 6 extra tiles are to add extra dimension to your finished Canvas. Glue images to Cover Board and sand back edges. Sponge surface edges with Archival Sepia Ink.

Note: Finishing of all your edges with a Black Marker Pen will add extra dimension to your finished piece.

Tiles 2, 5, and 11 have had Gold Fab Foils added, for this technique sailor Rollerball glue needs to be added to accent points and set aside to dry. I.e. Veins of the bees wings, compass points and randomly dotted to outer and central circle, sun rays.

My tiles have been decorated as follows:

1. Design Originals 8x8 Ruler Cardstock, cut a piece of ruler and attach to Cover Board, cut out, punch hole and add a 5mm Gold Eyelet. Attach to text tile.

2. Press the dull side of the Gold Fab Foils over the bee's wings and lift off. Apply Glossy Accents to the wings and Sepia Accents to the body. Mount a No.1 onto the Cover Board and attach to tile.

3. Cover entire tile in Crackle Accents and set aside to dry.

4. Apply Clear Embossing Pad directly to surface edges of your tile, sprinkle with Tarnished Gold Embossing Powder and heatset. Select a word from your Do-Dads sheet and mount onto Cover Board, blacken edge and attach to tile.

5. Press Gold Fab Foils over compass image to remove. Carefully apply Sepia Accents to foiled areas and set aside to dry.

6. Apply Tarnished Gold Embossing Powder to surface edges and heatset. Cut out word, blacken edge and attach. NB Not all words have been attached to Cover Board.

7. Attach a torn piece of Floral Boho Paper. Roughly cut out a No.2 from the Design Originals 8x8 Numbers Cardstock, attach to a scrap piece of card and cut out. Punch holes for Brads, apply Glossy Accents and set aside to dry. Once dry attach Brads and glue to tile.

8. Attach a torn piece of Floral Boho Paper to bottom edge. Mount a word onto Cover Board, cut out, blacken edge and attach. Using Glossy Accents attach the Crown and set aside to dry.

9. Cut out boy from Doo-Dads Sheet and mount on Cover Board, blacken edges then sponge surface edges with Sepia Ink, attach to tile.

10. Apply Tarnished Gold Embossing Powder to 2-3 edges and heatset. Punch holes and add 3 Brads to top right hand corner.

11. Press Gold Fab Foils over sun image and remove. Add Sepia Accents to face and rays of the sun. Set aside to dry.

12. Emboss all surface edges with Tarnished Gold Embossing Powder and heatset. Cut out a tiny word, blacken edge and attach.

13. Cover entire image with Crackle accents. Cut out a word and sponge edge with Sepia Ink, press into Crackle Accents and set aside to dry.

14. Glue on a piece or torn Floral Boho Paper. Mount and blacken edges of a No3, attach. Add dots of Sepia Accents to 3 of the flower designs set aside to dry.

15. Mount Eiffel tower image and blacken edges. With Sepia Ink sponge surface edges and lightly over entire image to give it more of a brown tone. Mount and blacken edges of a Do-Dads Ruler, attach along with an unmounted tiny word.

16. Emboss all surface edges in Tarnished Gold and heatset. Mount and blacken edges of the word "EGACY" and attach to create the word LEGACY. Apply Sepia Accents to the letter L set aside to dry.

17. Mount and blacken edges of 2 separate words, attach.

18. Attach a torn piece Floral Boho Paper. Roughly cut out a No4 from the Design Originals 8x8 Numbers Cardstock, glue to a scrap piece of card and cut out. Punch holes for the Brads, apply Glossy Accents and set aside to dry. Once dry attach Brads and glue to tile.

19. Attach Brown Ribbon to the bottom and top edge of each Canvas and approx 1cm around each corner with super tape.

20. Line up your Canvases with your desired gap between them. Loop the Ribbon through the Wreath Charm (the same way you would with ribbons on a tag), centre at the top and attach down the sides with Super Tape and 1cm under the bottom edge.

21. Position all your tiles on each Canvas. I have added an extra tile piece to the back of the tile No's 1, 6, 8, 12, 13, 17 to give extra dimension. Line up your tiles and attach using Glossy Accents, starting with the centre tile. Hang your artwork and enjoy!
