HOME DECOR

I was cleaning out my basement and found a nifty wood panel. (You'd be surprised what you find when you clean your basement.) I made an elegant wall hanging with just a few basic supplies.

Paint the wood panel with white acrylic paint and allow it to dry. Stamp a sentiment onto the lower left corner of the panel with India Black ink. Position the stencil onto the board and fill the openings with Delta Texture Magic Dimensional Paint. Smooth the dimensional layer with a paper scrap.

Carefully lift the stencil and allow the dimensional paint to dry before adding more dahlias and leaves. Clean the stencil thoroughly.

Stand back, admire, and decide if you want to stop there or add color.

To add color, reposition the stencil over the leaves and flowers, and apply ink with an ink applicator.
