I blame Pinterest for this. All these people were drawing intricate designs on canvas freehand and the final project turned out terrific. Well I can't freehand any design or even simple letters, so my way of doing this project took a bit more time...
I bought white puff paint from Hobby Lobby (~$3.99) and another canvas. I mixed the green color from a combo of pure yellow, white and apple green. First, I printed out the lyrics to "Xanadu" by Rush on computer paper. Then I slid this paper under parchment paper and traced the letters underneath with puff paint. I waited about 8 hrs and peeled lettering off parchment and then modge podged it onto my painted canvas. Then I gave the whole canvas a finishing coat of modge podge.
Yeah it took some time, but the lyrics were important to us (dog's name is Xanadu) and I did love the lettering font.
