Last week, Jordyn and I painted the small wall in my cottage a gorgeous shade of blue! I have the drop down ladder into the loft that comes right down against the wall and I can't put a dang thing on the wall nor can I put anything in the middle of the wall. So I got this brilliant idea to stencil big dandelions on the wall!
Super cute, right?
Well, it SHOULD be super cute, but it is an EPIC fail!
The first dandelion I did is the one in the lower left. Talk about SMEARING! I wanted it to be super white, but all I got was a super smunched wanna be dandelion. By the time I did the last one (the third from the left) I was getting the hang of it, but alas, they will never be a vibrant white dandelion, only a "watermark" dandelion.
My poor dragonfly was quite the white blob, but I broke down and opened the can of blue of paint and fixed him up quite nicely.
Those little floating white things are dandelion tufts...or they are supposed to be!
I used the blue painters tape to hang them up with and I should have used the spray adhesive, maybe they would have turned out better!
OR I should just stick to making cards and leaving it at that!
