Shore Nest Wall Art DIY

Hi there!  When I posted the Comfy Screened Porch last week, I said I would give you a peek at how I made the Shore Nest wall art.  Here are the two pieces I started with, well, almost.  I forgot to take a picture before I dry brushed the dark brown wood, but you'll get the idea!

These were hanging in our previous house, but they just didn't work in the new house's decor.  I dry brushed the dark wood and then used some acrylic paint to create a simple scene.  Then I broke out my Silhouette to cut some gold adhesive vinyl...

After adhering the vinyl, this is what I had:

I decided to add a little light house at the last minute.  :-)

I was going for a weathered, drift wood look and I think the dry brushing worked just fine for some quick outdoor art...

These are a cute addition to our frugally decorated porch!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers!
