Happy Spring/Summer porch punch of color

Hey y’all! OMG, the pollen is killing me here in the south.  I have been outside all morning cleaning our front porch, and my eyes literally feel like I sandpapered them. YUCK!~ I hate pollen.

With that said, I do have a happy spring/summer porch punch of color out there now.  I don’t plan on changing out the porch for awhile.  I will share more of the porch once I get some container gardening done out there.  I’m not quite ready to tackle that.  My thumb as per usual is black, so the later the better. I only wind up with dead flowers come August anyhow!

I decided I would make a pretty no-sew pillow and custom the colors I like to coordinate.  Seemed my rooster was the color inspiration.

Back in the fall I made a no sew owl pillow.

How to stencil on a pillow

Just a few supplies needed.

Pillow insert, stencils, craft paint, burlap flower embellishments, stencil pouncer, 3 m tape or stencil spray adhesive.

The craft paint I used was by Lumiere.  The same pretty paints I used to paint on glass a few weeks ago.  I love these paints! You really should give them a try.  They have such a pretty variation of colors with a nice iridescent finish.

Stenciled pillow idea with layering technique

 First I used the decorative larger stencil.  Then I placed the flower in the center and stenciled with a different coordinating color.

Be sure to place a piece of cardboard, or plastic bag inside the pillow before stenciling.  Otherwise you risk bleed through on the other side.

Another per usual, I needed a little extra something. Am I becoming predictable? that could be a bad thing, or perhaps just consistent HA!

  The burlap flower embellishments were perfect.  Those I just used a dab of hot glue to adhere to the pillow in the places I desired.

Remember when I painted my rockers? I mentioned that I felt they would look good all four seasons.  I will confirm, they do!

I would say there is a nice PUNCH of color going on out there this season.

Now to get some pretty flowers, or ferns.  I think ferns aren’t as easy to kill.

Easy, fun, no pillow idea
