JoAnn Nobel of
Beauti-Faux Finishes,
commissioned by a client to create an elegant design on her walls, chose our
Raised Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil and decided upon a whole forest of
metallic trees.
JoAnn said: "This was done on three adjointing bedroom walls, The
client wanted them timeless so I add more branches and less leaves. I
created a total of 9 Raised Plaster Aspen trees on the walls. I then painted
the walls, trunks and branches with one color before doing a soft faux
finish over the entire wall.
I then highlighted the trunks and branches with pearl glaze, adding
just a touch of green to some of the leaves. This is a suble effect and
looks different depending on how the light hits it as you can see in the
photos. The client loved it! I have used several of your stencils and loved
them all."
Designer's Tips:
If you have no faux finish experience, you can
create a similar finish behind your trees by choosing a light and medium
tone of the same color. Mix each with translucent wall glaze (available at
Lowe's or Home Depot) then sponge over the walls blending the colors
together to create a very soft background.
