![]() This is where I would have liked to have that Pumpkin Spice color on hand, but I think the Mojave substituted nicely. Next up I stenciled the little do-dads on either side of the word ‘market’ in Mojave. Then, once I pulled the stencil away I went back in with a small brush and touched up those letters that fell on the uneven surface and needed a little more paint. Basically I was just very careful to hold the stencil as flat as possible and to not get too heavy handed with the paint. While we’re on that topic, you might be wondering how I stenciled over that raised section in the middle. I left that out on my sign because I thought it would be hard to get that to look right going over that raised piece in the middle. If you look back at the image of this stencil, you’ll see that there is a box around the word “market”. I completed the rest of the stenciling just using Cashmere straight up. I highly recommend it for the wording on signs especially. ![]() Thus I created a shadow behind that word when I moved the stencil back into place and stenciled over the Cocoa Bean with more Cashmere.Ĭreating a shadow this way is so, so simple and it adds a ton of impact. Then I adjusted the stencil slightly over and down and stenciled just the word ‘farmers’ also in the Cocoa Bean. Next I stenciled the words ‘always fresh’ in Dixie Belle’s Cocoa Bean. I started by stenciling just the bottom line of wording on the raised border at the bottom of my cupboard door using Cashmere. I had to make a few adjustments to the spacing and design of the stencil to work with my uneven surface. I had already purchased this stencil a couple of years ago and I’ve used it on several projects already including some old table leaves that I turned into signs last fall. Then I pulled out my Farmers Market stencil, also from wallcutz.īy the way, this is not the sponsored project for wallcutz that I mentioned on Wednesday. I painted the flip side of the sign in a base coat of Juniper. What was I thinking? Well, no problem, Dixie Belle’s Mojave from their Silk line would work just as well. However, I realized that I must have given away the Pumpkin Spice color because I couldn’t find it anywhere in my stash. I started out with Suzanne’s Fall Colors from Dixie Belle. Next up I pulled out some fall paint colors. I simply removed the hooks from the front, flipped it over, removed the hanging hardware from the back and then gave it a good clean. I had it hanging on the carriage house in 2021 …Īnd then this summer I had it hanging on the deck.Īs I was looking at it earlier this week I thought it looked just a bit too summery for fall, so I decided to make it reversible. You may remember the Fresh Flower Market sign that I made up last year using a stencil from wallcutz. We’ve had a couple of nights that dipped into the 30’s already and that killed off some of my coleus, so it was time to start pulling annuals out of the planters and replacing some of them with mums and ornamental kale.Īlthough I don’t really decorate inside the house for fall, I do like to change things up a little outside for fall. Our temps are dropping, the nights are getting cold and the leaves are starting to turn pretty shades of yellow, orange and red. ![]() I drew her name at random to win the giveaway of the white Silk paint colors (Cynthia, I’ve emailed you to get your mailing info, if you didn’t get my email check your spam folder). Before getting on with today’s post, congrats to Cynthia Goscinak. ![]()
