Baby Love

I seriously have been slacking on posting my decorations! I usually just write in my normal blog. Lately I've been up to some fun stuff. So here is the baby canvas I finally did after ten months of having my baby!I have had my canvas forever, and have been searching through pinterest to get some cute ideas for quotes that go for both boy and girl-since I want both. I found this quote, it's from Dumbo, and fell in love.

Here's what I did: got plain canvas-hobby lobby, googled chevron patterns-found the one i liked, and printed it cut out one stripe of it, and trace on the canvas. This part seriously took forever. I then traced with my gray paint every single line with a foam brush. Took forever too! Then I filled it in. The lines weren't perfect anymore. I thought it wouldn't bug me if I just put on the vinyl, but then I got white paint and did the lines all over again to make them straight.

 So this is in no way a fast project, it takes like 2 hours or more. I let it dry over night, and then used my silhouette to cut my vinyl. I use press n' seal for transfer tape-works pretty good and is much cheaper than transfer tape. Anyways, I love the way it turned out, and the gray is the perfect shade of gray. It's called Winter Storm from Ace!
