Hello Pumpkins. I've missed you. We have been traveling since June 12th and only just returned home on September 10th.....exhausted.
Even though we plan to start some construction, I needed to create and I also need a little Fall. I've been seeing the saying, "Hello Pumpkin "everywhere and it reminds me of my Grandmother calling my children, Pumpkin. It makes me melt a little bit. So, I needed to make a sign. It was easy and most of my crafty readers will be able to make it from scraps and things around the home.
1.First, I painted a scrap 3.5" x 16.5" board with some Black Acrylic. I wanted a dark background.
2. Next I used a variety of fall colors to stencil on a mixed fall background.
3. Don't worry about the stencil images smearing and running because I gave the whole thing a nice sanding down before the next step.4. Using a brush and acrylic matte medium , I adhered some gold flecks and gave the entire piece a full coat.
It adds a little somethin' somethin'
5. Now I stenciled Hello Pumpkin with white acrylic paint. For the small font I used a 1 " letter and for the larger font I used a 2" font.
6. In the end, I gave it a more finished look using a white Posca paint pen to make a dotted line border. #Poscapaintpen
See , that was easy. So glad to get a little creativity under my belt after all this time. #happytobehomeagain
With love and gratitude,
Michele
