Big White Snowflake Painted on Wood Pallet Boards

Hi Friends!
 
My January home
 
 is wanting a warm, fresh, winter look.
 
I'm thinking this big white snowflake
 
painted on blue-gray boards
 
will make warm winter wall art.
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
I know...fence board love again.
 
But it's an easily available wood
 
that offers the same worn quality of old pallets.
 
The size of this piece is 22" x 22".
 
 
 
 
 
 
I don't know if there are rules about this
 
but I used paint and stain together .
 
I've done this before on My $15 Barnwood Backdrop
 
 and just like what happens
 
when I base with a raw sienna
 
and then wipe over in places with a dark stain.
 
 
 
 
And here I go again with the
 
 
I love this color!
 
I've used it on
 
 
 
and
 
 
So I painted next in Shutter Gray
 
and then used MMS antique wax on the edges.
 
 
 
I picked a snowflake shape and transferred to paper
 
covering both sides with clear packaging tape
 
to create a sturdy stencil.
 
Then I cut out the shape
 
and painted the snowflake with Kilz.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Add some dark gray shading
 
to the right and bottom sides for shadow.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then sand over all.
 
 
 
 
So now you have a simple winter icon
 
in warm texture and color.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Pin It!
 
 
 Enjoy your January Snowflakes!
