Cherry Blossoms

I needed some art for my bathroom redo.  I have some seriously awesome artists in my family (like people who actually sell their stuff) but alas I DID NOT GET ANY OF THAT TALENT, I have zero artistic ability, but what I do have are mad cutting skills so after the trashcan went so well I decided to do more contact paper art. Each picture cost me about $4.00 to make… so YEAH!

I started off with these they cost me $8.something for the 3-pack.              @ (Wal-Mart)

Then I painted them all burnt umber. I liked the lines in the paint so I only did one coat of burnt umber.  The paint was like $1.something

When I was doing the trashcan I noticed the cherry blossoms in my clipart and I knew then, I would be using them.  I just enlarged them to the size I wanted, then I cut my contact paper to 8.5 X 11 and put it through my printer.   Then came the fun part, cutting them all out.

After they were all cut out I placed them on the canvas.

And carefully painted over the top of them.

I added two coats of white and peeled the contact paper off as soon as I was done with the second coat, while it was still wet.

I’ll show you how it all came together when I do my big bathroom reveal. (hopefully soon)
