Now... on to my project!
I made this wall hanging using the newly released Layers of Color Art Stencil, "Elegant Touch". I started with a heavy piece of cardboard, used my Zutter corner rounder to round the corners, and then I centered my stencil on it. I spread on Dry Wall Spackling with a putty knife to a depth of about 1/8-1/4". I picked up the stencil and this gorgeous pattern was left on the cardboard! I left it to dry and it did take some time. When it was completely dry, I sealed it all with Gesso and let that dry.Meantime, I sanded a 6" square piece of wood from the local craft store, and painted it with an acrylic brown paint. I then glued the cardboard with the pattern on it onto the wood base and applied weight until dry. Once dry I painted the whole thing with another coat of paint. I used T Holtz Distress Walnut Stain heavily on top so it would settle into the cracks and wiped off the excess. I then took some antique bronze wax metallic cream rub on from the craft store and just rubbed it on with my finger, hitting the high spots until I got enough of the copper for the look I wanted. I bought this white porcelain door knob at Hobby Lobby and my hubby drilled a hole in the center of the piece the correct size for the screw that came with it. I added the door knob and done. I did have him drill a hole in the back of the wood as a recessed hanger.I've shown a couple ideas on how you might use this. I think one painted in pink would look cute in a little girl's room where she could hang her little treasures!
I hope you enjoyed this idea for using these wonderful Art Stencils! They are available NOW... and they are on sale until the 18th for 15% off... so don't wait!
