***Congrats to Gretchen! The winner of a Cutting Edge Stencil!***
I’m so excited to show you guys the last little project that I did in the playroom! Just look at those cute trees and birds on the wall!
This was one of the the EASIEST projects I’ve ever done! The trees and birds are stenciled with stencils from Cutting Edge Stencils!
And hang on until the end of this post for a chance to win a stencil with a value up to $50.00 from Cutting Edge Stencils!
I haven’t stenciled in a hundred years and things have changed! These stencils are so amazing and the technique is super easy…
Simply tape the stencil to the wall…
Use latex paint or craft paint and a sponge roller…I used my favorite Behr Ultra Paint with Primer and a few metallic craft paints –
I used two metallic colors for the leaves, letting the paint dry between coats. Don’t the leaves look pretty!?
Pearl white metallic is the subtle color I used for the little birds…they are very nearly hidden in the branches, but, like so many things, if you pause and look closely you can see them…
I was so surprised with this project. It really was easy and fast and turned out exactly like I envisioned!
Before I started my project, I watched a couple of the short Cutting Edge Stencils Videos…this is a good one if you’d like more detail…
I also experimented with the stencil on a couple of pillows! Remember this post…HERE
Cutting Edge Stencils have stencils for just about any project you want to try…
paper projects…
Fabric projects…
Small wall stencils…
Or whole wall stencils!
And you’ve got a chance to win one stencil with a value up to $50.00!

November 11, 2012 at 11:02 pmI sooo enjoy your blog. I’m gluten intolerant and always anticipate your recipes. But, your stenciling is very impressive and I would so enjoy giving it a try.

Jessica says
November 12, 2012 at 8:52 amYour tree and bird stencil looks so peaceful. I adore the metalic paints you used and would have never come up with using those paints on my own!
I don’t think I can choose a favorite between the stencil you used and the Freedom! Wall stencil- I love them both!

November 12, 2012 at 9:16 amHow gorgeous!! Wish I had an available wall. Not sure it would work to stencil over log walls. LOVE the trees. It would be so fun to be a child in this room full of love~

November 12, 2012 at 10:35 amYou did a fabulous job! I’ll have to start stenciling again!
Eileen says
November 12, 2012 at 12:05 pmWhat a great job you did, Robin! I love how it turned out. My favorite stencil would have to be the owl on the tree branch. It looks like maybe even I could do that even though I’m not a painter. :0) xxoo

Diana Walters says
November 12, 2012 at 1:10 pmI love to stencil but also haven’t done it in a hundred years! I really would love to get the moroccan look on one wall in my dining room. I plan on doing it in the same shade as the wall, but in a gloss paint on flat. Great blog by the way!

Keani says
November 12, 2012 at 5:28 pmI love so many of the stencils. I have used the casablanca, paisley, and tree peony. Right now, my favorite is the birch tree forest (or the Anna Damask. How can you pick just one favorite??). But, after seeing your trees, I’ve been visualizing what those trees would look like in my home! You did a beautiful job!!
Gretchen says

Theresa says
November 14, 2012 at 9:19 pmBeautiful Stenciling in the playroom. Gosh, hard to decide which of the Cutting Edge Stencils I like the most since I like almost all of the Brocade, Damask & Ceiling Medallions. The one titled Freedom is very nice too. Thank-you for posting your great projects and inspiring words. In his grace. Theresa – Western PA
