Make It Monday

Desiring to reconnect with myself and awaken my passions, I've begun to implement Make It Monday! While my DS is sleeping, I will craft!  This week I decided to take an old painting and make it new!

BEFORE
Generic

Artist's Tape
(less tacky than masking tape)

 Paint the middle square black.

Paint top and bottom sections light shades that will contrast with the paint underneath. 

Remove tape and paint orange juice glass.

Finished Product:
A wall reminder to stay positive!
(I outlined the letters with a sharpie for greater contrast.) 

I like it.  I just wish the tape had been thicker for the lettering or that I had doubled it up... Hope this inspires you to play with what you have and get creative!
