Quick Tips for Embellishing Canvas with Chalk Inks

Today I'm sharing with you  tips for decorating canvas embellishments using chalk inks.

I love the way the little canvas pieces look right out of the package -- soft and very cloth-like.   When using paint on canvas there is a tendency to get a firmer finish, and I really wanted to keep that soft, pliable look. I decided on using chalk inks to achieve my desired look.  After experimenting a bit, I'm really happy with the way they turned out, and I'd love to share a couple of tips with you.
