I created this piece to go along with the one I did of the Mad Hatter. It is also made out of a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I also purchased this piece of wood at the same time as the one for the Mad Hatter. It was one piece that I had them cut for me. I then took it home and spray painted the whole thing with two coats of black spray paint.
This design was also found on the web. I put the design into my silhouette program, traced it and cut it out of Oramask 813 Stencil Film I purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/. I then weeded it out, removing all the negative pieces. I added my transfer tape, and removed the backing. I then put the design onto the painted piece of wood and removed the transfer tape, leaving the stencil secured to the wood.
This time I decided to paint the design with acrylic paints, GLITTER acrylic paints!!! <3 GLITTER!!!! You can't really tell from the photo, but in person it shines like a diamond. :-) I sponge painted the design in a couple layers of white glitter paint. Before it was completely dried I removed the stencil (carefully). Then when it was completely dried I went back in with a small brush and gold glitter paint. I added the gold to a couple small areas. In the very center of the design I decided to change it up, originally it had a mushroom, but I chose to replace it with a glitter red heart. When everything was dried and I was looking at it, I wasn't happy with all the black around the edges. So I pulled out my acrylics again, this time some metallic blue, purple, and pinks. I sponge painted around the design. I really liked the way it all turned out, and had fun creating it.
