Ooops! My card became a canvas!

Hi crafty friends!  So yesterday you may have seen the card I posted for the Fripperies and Butterflies blog challenge.  Well.....I was about to put in the drawer when I happened to set it on top of an inverted canvas.  Also on the desk were a couple of fussy cut hummingbirds left over from a creative team project for Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  I had a sudden epiphany, and off I went!  Below is the end result.

I began by painting over the wood and staples on the backside of the canvas with gesso.  I then covered it with tissue paper which I had printed previously, supplies will be listed below.  The tissue prints were already in my pile of leftovers.  I used Mod Podge to adhere the tissue to the canvas frame.  The project was not without it's problems.  Originally I had used a flower cluster die cut behind the fairy from Kaisercraft.  It was pretty, but it didn't fit the new whimsical look I was going for, so I had to remove it.  We all know how that goes LOL.  As a result, I'm not crazy about my flower arrangement in the lower left corner, but I had to cover up where the paper was ripped from the removal of the die cut, so I did the best I could.  I hope you like my card makeover!
