Hi, these are the products I used to alter this 50p Diary.
A Sheet of Acrylic Canvas 12" x 10" (sold as a pad), Mask, Rubber Stamp, Texture Paste, Acrylics: Copper and Hookers Green, Fabric Glue, Palette Knife, Sponge and an old Kitchen Tile for Mixing.
Placing the Mask on the Canvas Sheet, use your palette knife to apply the Texture Paste. Once dry apply the Acrylic Paints and Stamp.
Thought you would like to see a close up of the finished Canvas Sheet.
Luckily my Canvas Sheet was the perfect size for the Diary which measured 8" x 6" and I had enough left over for a large bookmark. The great thing about the Acrylic Canvas Sheet is that it stretches beautifully so when you glue it onto the diary it fits brilliantly.
You can add extra embellishments according to your likes. This has a lovely feel to it, very touchable and much softer than Sticky Back Canvas.
Wishing you all a very creative weekend, hugs Annette x

Hi Von, its an canvas sheet for the use of acrylics, you can buy the sheet in a pad which you pull out and use. The pads are sold at most art stores and also The Works. Hope this makes it clearer, x
