When I bought my get-go draw solid it was an estate sale. That agency everything within of the
house came amongst it, whether I wanted it or not! There was lots of former dusty materials inside,
(some was fun to larn through, some, non thus much) in addition to among everything, was this

"before" Poor, evidently former irksome credenza earlier I added my magic to it
and made it expect super awesome.
After!
Ooo in addition to aahh fancy painted finished credenza
Here's how I did it:
After cleaning the cabinet in addition to and thus sanding it downward lightly, I gave it a coat of light-green paint
to stand upward for my dining room walls (does non expect light-green inwards photos, but it is green!) Once
the pigment dried, it was fourth dimension to add together my lyrics, or my lettering. I knew I could non pigment the
lettering freehand because well, I sip besides much coffee. My hole-and-corner weapon for near-perfect lettering?

Large unmounted condom stamps!
To create the lettering I exactly set out all the words using the alphabetic lineament condom stamps to give myself an stance of the spacing. Then I real lightly stamped them onto the cabinet amongst the condom stamps in addition to a regular ink pad. Once I had the words all stamped out, I exactly painted over them freehand amongst acrylic paint. Check it out!

Tools of the trade: Folk Art shiny dark acrylic pigment in addition to #4 & #6 synthetic brushes (the #4 worked ameliorate because it was closer to the size of my lines)
Easy every bit PIE!
Ok, thus I was a lilliputian shaky at get-go but flora that the quicker I worked in addition to the longer, more decisive brush strokes I used, the ameliorate my result.
Please disregard the piles of dishes in addition to materials strewn almost my
