Use your creativity and make your own unique canvas sign with an ombre effect! You can also do a rainbow effect using different colors. This tutorial is so simple and can be replicated to make so many other signs. This is perfect for a beach house! My in-law’s have a beach condo, so I sent one of the signs I made with them to keep at their place for the summer. Once the white paint is dry, remove the vinyl and viola, you have a stunning summer sign! I also painted the white a little sloppily to give the canvas a distressed look. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White because I had it on hand. Next, paint over the entire canvas with white paint. For these key chains, you can buy the components separately and customize your key fobs. Using transfer tape, apply your words and graphic to the canvas and carefully remove the transfer tape. You can take basic ideas like a splash of paint and a popular name, then put these concepts together and make amazingly simple Cricut vinyl project ideas. For this particular beach art, I cut the word BEACH and an arrow. Meanwhile, cut the words and graphics you want on your canvas. Once the canvas is covered with the paint, let it dry completely. If this sounds a little confusing, watch the quick video here. Repeat these steps with all four shades of blue. With the next shade of blue, start painting where that color will end and blend the paint backwards into the darker shade. The easiest way to make an ombre effect is to start with the darkest color and paint 1/4 of the canvas (don’t forget the edges of the canvas). I made an ombre effect using four shades of blue, from dark to light. Paint your canvas with the acrylic paint.

I think this turned out so cool using four shades of blue. To make this canvas sign, I used acrylic paint and created an ombre effect (dark to light). I actually made a few of them and gave them away as gifts! I recommend painting the entire canvas with acrylic paint before you apply the stencil. Next, you should prep your canvas before applying your vinyl stencil. Make sure to keep your design in place, since this is a stencil not a decal.
