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

chevron stripe

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.
