CSI Winter Theme

I felt my dining room needed some different artwork, here is the piece I had in the room.  Too much spring-like, my room needed something more tranquil.

I painted two canvases wtih Benjamin Moore's Quiet Moments (had a small test jar).  Then cut out this tree (called Winter Tree) with my Silhouette machine.  The trunk is silver vinyl and to my surprise, I had no white vinyl, so I cut out several snowflakes from white cardstock.  I used Modge Podge to adhere the snowflakes.  Since the vinyl doesn't like to adhere to the canvas in places, I used Modge Podge over the top of the entire piece to keep the design down.

Inexpensive artwork for the room and it was fun to give it a quick change.

  1. Looks like fun! It is nice to swap out things on the wall - sort of like redecorating without actually redecorating. THanks for sharing!
