I wanted a sign for our mantel this Christmas (and was looking for an excuse to pull the Silhouette back out)
It is actually the backside of this sign
I painted base coat of gray and then dry brushed a little white on top
Cut the vinyl stencil with the Silhouette and laid it on top
I painted the bold letters with a color called "cinnamon"... I really wanted to make sure the color didn't end up looking pink
and I painted the script letters in black
This is what I ended up with!
Here it is with the entire mantel... it isn't quite finished yet for Christmas, but I like the sign as an addition this year
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
Jamie

Looks so good. love the colors you used. Did you know that you can use contact paper instead of vinyl for this? It's a little... actually a lot cheaper. Just thought I'd pass on the tip!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I never used vinyl before, but I might just try the contact paper as Rachael suggested. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to link up and share: http://tutusandteaparties.blogspot.com/2011/12/pinteresting-link-party-week-sixteen.html

Very lovely. Kathi
ReplyDeleteVery nice - saw you on whipperberry
ReplyDeleteLove the sign... especially the red popping letters. I'm putting you in the Spotlight this weekend. Thanks for linking up to the PoPP.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say, this is gorgeous. Not only gorgeous, but I love the way it points attention back to our Savior, and sometimes in all the Christmas hubbub, we get a little sidetracked, don't we? I would love to see you come and share this at the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com ~Jen
