Carveit.ca Part 2: The Giveaway!

I painted the Carveit.ca Holden Family sign today. Click HERE to see the previous post about the making of the sign.I used a satin black spray paint to cover the entire piece, sanding with a very fine sandpaper between coats and let dry well.With basic craft acrylic paint I painted a cream color into the grooves and wiped with a moist rag as I went to remove the overpainting.I painted the crest with a few coats of apple green acrylic paint to match my kitchen wall and used metalic craft paint in silver for the letter H and the crown to coordinate with the stainless steel appliances. I didn’t think the cream color around the crown looked great so I went back and painted black into the areas around it and the initial.I finished the sign with a light spray coat of satin varnish and hung above our wood stove.The cool thing is that if my decor colors change, I can easily repaint my sign to match! This is now an official Holden family heirloom.
