numbers!

so, this lil project kinda took awhile. i saw it on Simply Sarah's blog [or maybe it was featured on another blog? it's been so long...] anyhoo, i finally finished it. if i did it again i'd make the numbers bigger.

i was strugglin to figure out how to get the numbers on the canvas...like if i was gonna have to trace them--then how big to print them and all that. yeah. sooo i let it sit for awhile then i got a great idea. i bought a program a few weeks ago called Sure Cuts A Lot [amazing] and put all the numbers on there stretchin em and rotating em to visualize how they would be. then cut them out on vinyl! so the vinyl was kind of like my stencil.

i was pretty pleased with how it turned out. but then i took it a little bit farther. i got a sander for my bday:) and took it to the canvas. then rubbed it with some brown glaze and sanded it a little bit more. oh and the wood under the canvas made the "frame" look around the numbers. if that makes any sense. i think it looks pretty sweet and old = perfect:)
