DIY Quoted Canvas

My husband and I are expecting our first child in March, so the brain storming has begun as to how to decorate the baby's room. As I was thinking, a Bible verse that we pray over the baby everyday came to mind. This was it. I'll put the Bible verse on canvas, paint it and hang above the crib. 

Here's what I used:
Canvas - I bought a 20x24 size
Paint - I used Mysteria
A Cricut machine
Vinyl

I used the Opposites Attract cartridge. I tested a few letter sizes until I got the one I wanted. There were two words within the verse that I wanted to have stand out from the other words, so I cut them out in a different font and made them a little bigger.

Once I had all of the letters cut, I placed them on the canvas. Then I painted the whole canvas, including going over the vinyl letters. I used two coats of paint to make sure it was all covered and no white was showing.

Once it was all dry, I slowly peeled off the vinyl letters. The paint did bleed through a little bit, but I think the effect is pretty cool, so I'm going to keep it as is. If you don't like it with the paint coming through, I would think that getting a small paint brush with some white paint you could paint in the letters and it would look good.
