I love my Raised Plaster Aspen trees in my home in Idaho. They add
an elegant "outdoorsy" feel to the room while adding a grand element to an
otherwise very tall and blank wall space.
Our
Raised
Plaster Aspen Tree Stencil is super easy to use. Simply repeat the trunk
to within a few feet of the height you wish your tree to be, then stencil
side branches and leafy branches.
I kept playing with different looks until I came up with one that is soft
and elegant.
I mixed translucent wall glaze with metallic gold paint to minimize it's
effect and painted by branches in gold. I deepened the photo a bit just so
you could see the detail. The gold on the trunk is actually quite light.
I used very light brown paint, diluting it a little with water and used
an old terry towel to scrub a bit of shadow around the leafy branches. That
action gave them depth against the light colored wall.
I then painted the leaves iridescent white. The tree glimmers slightly as
you walk past it and is so lovely!
