I had someone contact me to make some canvases for their nursery. She told me she was having rare mono/mono twins. They share the same sac and placenta. But this makes them at high risk for strangulation with the umbilical cords. She has been on bed rest for 5 weeks and will be having the girls tomorrow at 32 weeks. Last week they already weighed 3 and 4 pounds so they think that they should do ok once they are born.
Materials
11×14 canvases
vinyl
Spray paint
Settings
15″ KNK Maxx
Red capped blade
Force 40
Speed 450
She wanted the canvases patterned. I painted the 2 canvases light pink
Then, using the array feature I made rows of circles and offset them. I cut them from vinyl
and applied them to the canvas.
Then I spray painted the canvas a darker pink
And when the paint was dry to the touch I used my exacto knife to lift the vinyl circles.
Then I let it sit for 24 hours. I have found that vinyl does not life fresh paint so the longer the better.
I then cut the initial and name of dark gray vinyl and applied it to the canvas.
For the chevron stripe I used the snap to grip feature and made the chevron stripe and then used array to get it spaced evenly. I then followed the same process with paint, vinyl, paint, vinyl.
Awesome job, Nancy! I love their names!
Very cute! Congratulations to this family on their double blessing!
Wow very creative, Nancy!! Congratulations to the parents.
Wow Nancy you outdid yourself this time! Love these and the instructions! Thank you! What kind of paint? Care to share the chevron pattern? My daughter Grace wants chevron
Carol, I like Rustoleum 2x paint. It is a powdery spray paint. I will try to attaché the chevron stripe file to this post.
The file for the Chevron stripe is the last item under settings.
Great job, Nancy. Very inspirational.
Beautiful project!!! In my country, the names Piper and Paisley are uncommon, although with Violet and Ann, they sound so sweet!
