Here is a first.. I have never really tried my hand at painting and I had this at my house..A plain wooden board..
And I saw this.. I was inspired by this sign from Susie Harris and decided to try my hand at painting the sign on my plank. here is the picture of the original inspiration -
I loved the color combination in the original sign.. the pink and the teal against the yellow.. So I bought some acrylic paint in those colors. I started out with painting the entire plank yellow. I was not looking for a very even coverage.
Next I printed out a stencil for a bicycle and printed 'Keep pedaling on' in the font and size that I wanted and traced them lightly on to the plank. The yellow has not been captured correctly in this picture.
I then finished painting the cycle first and went on to my words... I enjoyed the whole process! Here is the final reveal -
It is not perfect in the least bit but I think it turned out pretty! And yes it was a beautiful day outside. Here is another shot -
Now to hang it in my room and enjoy it :)
