Whew, here we are, December 23!
For a little extra jolly I painted a sign for our bar
Which is all set up as a Merry Mimosa Station
Help yourself!
I used a short piece of board and painted it black
I wanted to incorporate an evergreen branch and a bright red ornament
I designed it in PicMonkey first, a fast way to move things around to try out different fonts and designs
At the last minute I changed it from vertical to horizontal
Make quick short strokes in brown for the branches
Sap green and a very bright yellow green was used so the greenery wouldn’t get lost in the black
Next, lay in the big M for mimosa
finish adding the letters, filling in the O as a base for the ornament
go back and finish sketching in the merry
You can use a chalk outline before painting if you want and then just paint over it
Go back over the letters with another coat of white
Finish the ornament by painting it red, leaving a white outline to make it stand out, and adding a silver cap and hanger and a white highlight
I also added candy cane stripes to the m e r r y letters
Do you see the Santa card labels below by the juices?
They are candy cane easels
3 small candy canes glued together
I made some for the table
and to use on the buffet with name cards for the dishes
A quick last minute craft!
Merry Mimosa!
