Zebra Wall Decor for Nursery #2

I decided that Adeline's 2nd bedroom at Maw-Maw and Paw-Paws deserved some custom wall decor! So I whipped out my Silhouette SD (I sooo need to upgrade to a Cameo) and got to work. I had already bought some canvas' (11x14) and washi tape at AC Moore a week or so ago, so I was all ready!

First I painted my canvas with some Hot Pink paint I already had on hand. I just did 1 quick coat of paint, I didn't really want total and complete coverage. It's mostly covered but you can see white/light pink in some areas.

Next I played around on the Silhouette and found a font and size I liked. I really like the font, just wish I had cut it thicker. I also need to get a better grade vinyl, I used the basic you get from Silhouette - and it would NOT stick to the canvas completely. I also purchased the zebra hearts through the online shop - I though it added a little something.

Next I played with the Washi Tape. This is my first craft project using Washi! It's pretty cool, just didn't stick to the canvas either really. Oh well, live and learn! I also put it around the edge of the canvas.

I hadn't planned on using Mod Podge, but since the vinyl and washi tape weren't really sticking good enough for me I decided it was a must for this project. I was pretty much out of the Mod Podge I had so I went and bought some more (yes I know you can make your own, I don't...). I decided to get the Matte finish for this project. I've used Glossy before and it's just too much.

Here is the finished project!
