A customer ordered a special themed growth ruler as a Christmas gift and had a specific design in mind. She wanted certain colors for the background, numbers and additional kids names along with certain font and images. Thanks to the internet I was able to find the suitable font and a mouse silhouette.
I chose Fusion Mineral Paint's stain finishing oil ebony stain for the ruler itself. Two coats gave the perfect deep black color she desired with a gorgeous wood grain still visible. This fabulous product does not require additional top coats and has a smooth soft finish.
For the numbers and Mickey silhouette I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in picket fence, a crisp white and for the names I went with Fusion Mineral Paint in fort York red. Everything is hand painted on my growth rulers. I use MS word to set up my font and sizes then print out, trace on to the board and paint with an artist brush. I prefer this look to the vinyl stickers or stencils for my creations.
The finished ruler ready to head off to be placed under the Christmas tree of the lucky kids who will mark their heights making memories that last a lifetime.
