Pauline Charpentier
has been one of my favorite artists for years! She's done such incredible
things with our stencil designs and this time, just blew me away using our
Raised
Plaster Life-sized Aspen Tree
Stencil.
Creating a vignette of trees between the doorway and the
framed art, Pauline plastered them from floor to ceiling then added paint
touches that are just beautiful.

Painting them and then adding bits of metallic gold to give them elegant
shimmer.
Wendy obviously
loves her little one! She wanted to make her room extra special by making
fantasy just a little more "real".
The leaves are soft greens that compliment the room colors.
Adding the paint colors seems to really make this small grove of trees come to
life in the most realistic way. I just love it!
Thank you Pauline! Once again, you've set our heads spinning
with ideas!
Designer's Tip: To make your tree
project go faster, use our "skip" method when applying the trunk.
Do the first, repeat, skip the second,
do the third and so on. Since the joint compound must dry between repeats,
jumping past the next repeat allows you to continue on.
Once the first repeats are dry, simply
go back and use the stencil again to fill in the missing repeats. Begin adding
side branches to any portions that are dry and continue on with your tree
construction.
How to stencil with joint compound
You'll be pleasantly surprised!
Remember that any of our
plaster stencils can also be used with paint! |
