Southern Scraps

  SO... what did I do with that one last clover from the Dollar Tree pack of 12 ?  I made it the star of it's own piece of art. I took a 6x6 inch burlap canvas and glued a glitter clover to the center. Then I took some thickers stickers from my stash and hot glued them on too, spelling out lucky.   Easy and quick! I think this is my favorite St. Patrick's Day project so far. Have a great weekend!

Here's a quick run down of what I used: Blank 11X14 canvas chevron shape Frog Tape craft smart acrylic paint (Michael's) in Robins Egg blue Delta Ceramcoat acrylic paint in Laguna blue craft smart satin acrylic paint (Michael's) in coral reef Silhouette Summer Sea Life foam brush I first painted the entire canvas with the Robins Egg blue. I find it easier to paint the lighter color first. It's easier to cover with the darker. After the first color thoroughly dried, I placed the  Frog Tape. Next I painted the Laguna blue. I peeled the tape off and let it all dry. I cut a stencil for the seahorse with my Silhouette and then traced the seahorse lightly onto my canvas with pencil. I filled it in with the coral. This took several coats. I went back with the Laguna blu
