If you know me you know that I just love chickens . I have serval of my own along with 4 entertaining ducks!
When I saw this Decoupage Central rice paper print I knew immediately I had to use it.
This project is so quick and easy to create!
I love how it turned out !
I know you will too!
Supplies you will need:
• board or canvas
• Clear Elmer's glue or Mod Podge
• white acrylic paint
• brown acrylic paint
• brown wax
• paint brushes
• sand block or sand paper
• optional iod stamp
• ink pad
• fine glitter
Once you gather your items you are ready to start .
The board that I chose to use I had painted it white a while back so it was nice and dry and ready for me to use .
If you are painting yours let it dry all the way before doing these other steps .
I got my print and I apply water to the edges to tear it off. You can use a water pen for this or a regular brush just add a little water on the edge as to tear .
I always choose this method oppose to cutting with scissors.
Once you are done you will have what looks like this .
It is now ready for you to apply to your board or canvas.
I am using clear Elmer's glue for this step but you can use Mod Podge if you prefer.
Once I glued my print on the board I got my Burnt Umber paint and did a light wash around the edges of my board to grunge it up some .
I just add water to my brown so it's very watery and I have more control how dark I want it to be ,
Remember to start light you can always go darker .
I always love the look it creates.
I used this IOD stamp to lightly add the words to my sign . Again this is totally optional for you .
I also got this stamp at Decoupage Central.
I stamped it on a page so you can see it .
I did this step on my actual chicken print and edges very lightly.
I took my brown wax and added a little more grungy goodness around the edges again.
I love this look it just makes it look like it has aged there for years .
For my finishing touch I sprinkling fine glitter on this sign it just adds that sparkling whimsical look don't you think?
I lightly sprayed the sign with a clear sealer before I sprinkled the glitter.
Here it is ! I love how this quick beautiful and simple sign came out!
I hope you give this beautiful Hen with Eggs sign a try !
