I had a board on hand and decided to create a pretty pink floral growth ruler using the new Bohemian wedding Dixie Belle
transfer.
The last board is the one far left with a warp to it. Wood is such a crap shoot it seems unless you go for the very expensive hard woods. Even if sourced straight from the store the wood tends to bend and warp after it sits for a bit and goes thru temperature changes.
Hopefully this one will be fine once screwed to a wall.
I stenciled on whitecap silk mineral paint on the stencil for a crisp but still soft contrast.
Now to add the pretty pastels flowers from the newly released Bohemian wedding Dixie Belle transfer. I cut out the graphics I wanted and placed them in the positions on a dry run (leaving the backing on). Once they were where I wanted I removed the backing and rubbed in place.
And this beauty is complete, ready to mark some little girls growth thru the years.
Below is a side view of the warp but once screwed securely to a wall most disappears.
It is also priced much lower to compensate for this character flaw.
