DIY Inspirational Quote

I have art ADD. Even when I absolutely LOVE something, I am usually tired of it in a few months. This disorder, unfortunately, is hard on my wallet as I am always crafting, painting, or BUYING art. While obsessing one day with inspirational quotes on pinterest , I decided I wanted to paint a quote to hang on my wall, where I could wake up and say "you go girl!" as I left my apartment. I had limitations in choosing a quote- I didn't want a "Live.Laugh.Love" type quote, or a "Love conquers all" type either. I decided on the below. This project was beyond easy. 

What I used:
-A blank canvas (I chose a black one)
-Stencils 
-Painter's tape
-Acrylic paint
-Paint brush (I used a square ridged one, as I think they're easier to work with to get symmetrical letters)


Preparing the canvas:


Observing my work or art (the letters were a bit messy, but I blame that on the bottle of wine Venessa and I shared). 


The final product (which hangs near my bedroom door, so I truly get that 'you go girl' attitude)
