Spring Footprint Art (2015)

It's March 12th!
It's Spring! (As far as I'm concerned)  :D

I put all of my Valentine decor away and got out all of my Spring the first weekend of March.  There are still a few piles of melting snow outside, but that's ok.  Inside I have daffodils!

Right now I'm working on photos of a few spring decor items that didn't make it to the blog last year.  I'm also brainstorming some really cute Easter Egg designs.  But for now, I'll share with you my Spring print art.

I made these last year after seeing similar designs on Pinterest, check it out:


Baby Girl is Pretty in Pink

After sketching out the designs I wanted, I used green paint to create the foliage.  A bit of pink paint on Baby Girl's feet and there you have it; Spring blooms!

Side Note:  I took this photo before going back to erase the extra pencil markings.  I thought it would be helpful to see that the markings provide a general plan for the art piece, but the paint doesn't have to be exact.  Just go with the flow and clean up the excess later :)



Lavender for the Little Man

I followed the same technique for Little Man's prints.

Side Note:  It is rare that the prints look perfect on their own and often I go back in with a brush to fill in any empty spots.  This time I left the prints as is.  The half missing toes on the left remind me how my only 3 month old baby would not sit still for this project.  He thought he could stick those little feet into all the paint at once :)

(You can also see from this picture that the pencil marks erase quite nicely.)

I have both of these prints framed and displayed with the rest of my Spring decor.  I love walking through the house and seeing all of the pretty flowers.

I hope you enjoyed the post, thanks for stopping by!
If you have a minute, let me know how you are getting ready for warm weather and sunshine.
