DIY: Hand Painted Monogram Cards

After creating some hand painted gift bags last week, I decided to do the same with some plain brown cards I bought from Michaels! Keep reading if you want to see how it’s done:) 

 

Materials Needed: 

1. Plain Brown Cards
2. Maratha Stewart Stencils
3. Paint Brush
4. Acrylic Paint

PLAIN BROWN CARDS:  I absolutely love these plain brown cards from the Recollections collection at Michaels. They come in a pack of 25 and the possibilities of what you can create with these are endless!

 

MARTHA STEWART STENCILS: I can’t stress enough about how much I love these stencils! For this project, I chose to use Fair Isle Dots and Bold Serif Alphabet. Who knows what other creative projects I will come up with using these treasures?!

 

PAINT: I decided to use the same acrylic paints as I did in my Gift Bag Diy. The colors I chose were: Butter and White from Craft Smart and Beach Glass from Martha Stewart Crafts.

 

Let’s Start Painting: 

For the front of the card I decided to add a white border detail at the top and a random array of circles and flowers for the rest of the space. 

 

     For the front the of envelope I decided to add a beautiful monogram.

 And for the finishing touch, I added a border detail to the back of the envelope. 

 

 

Here’s the final result: 

    

 Happy Painting!
