TEXT Lisa Sloan |
Give furniture a timeless look with a reverse tone-on-tone
stencil pattern. Produce an elegant effect by stenciling
in reverse with ivory paint over a tan background. Rather
than filling in an open stencil with paint, use shape cut-outs
to mask off designs. Apply paint over shapes, then remove
cutouts to reveal design. Several sizes of fleur-de-lis,
a traditional symbol of French royalty that resembles a
stylized iris or lily, make a strikingly simple statement
when used with this technique. |
