Well, I chose the
Moroccan Scallops, of course. I painted a square canvas in our breakfast area. Now, I am in love with the stencil, but my project isn't perfect so don't look too closely. I would recommend
not using the stencil on canvas. Because of the natural texture and flex of a canvas, I was left with some bleeding paint.
I can't wait to use the stencil again though. I think I'll use the stencil on a wall -- maybe a stripe about 4 feet wide of scallops from ceiling to floor. A gray/white combo would be subtle and would probably look great. Maybe behind Avery's crib and flipped upside down? The lines would be much more crisp on a wall, no doubt.
In the meantime… enjoying the navy addition to our breakfast nook. This is fast becoming one of my favorite spaces in our home! What do you think?
Who knows… there may just be a stencil giveaway in the near future. Hint, hint! ;)
And once again, be sure to check out the others taking on the challenge with me!
