What You'll Need
- French memo board
- Fabric medium
- Delta Ceramcoat acrylic paint: Fuchsia, Lilac Dusk
- Plaid FolkArt acrylic paint: Medium Yellow
- Plaid Apple Barrel Colors acrylic paint: Kiwi
- DecoArt Americana acrylic paint: Graphite
- 1-inch flat brushes, 2
- 3/4-inch stencil brushes, 2
5/8-inch stencil brushInstructions
Step One: Before stenciling, follow manufacturer's instructions to add fabric medium to the paint.
Step Two: The ribbon divides the bulletin board into diamond-shape blocks. Using 1-inch flat brushes,
paint the diamonds Fuchsia and Medium Yellow, creating stripes of diamonds across the board in a harlequin pattern.
Move the ribbon out of the way as you work, being careful not to get any paint on it. Let dry.
Step Three: Position stencil A in the center of a Fuchsia diamond, with the top pointed in any direction.
Mark registration points; stencil Kiwi with a 3/4-inch brush. Let dry; repeat for complete coverage.
Step Four: Repeat step 3 in all Fuchsia diamonds, rotating the direction of the butterfly
randomly for greater visual interest.
Step Five: Repeat steps 3 and 4 in all Medium Yellow diamonds, using Lilac Dusk instead of Kiwi paint.
Step Six: Align stencil B on a butterfly; stencil Graphite with a 5/8-inch brush. Repeat on all butterflies.
