Complete!-- What can I use instead of carbon paper?

[Farmer Kitty]

I got it! I used the pastel oil colors like Run-A-Muck suggested with the eye liner. It wouldn't do very good rubbing off but, I took a pencil and retraced on the other side against the wall. It worked!

Thank you for all the suggestions!

And digging for something else, guess what I found?

Next time you have to do it, an easier-to-remove method is to poke small holes thru the line you are trying to trace -- like, making it an infrequently-dotted line -- and just make a little pencil mark thru each hole onto the wall. When you remove the paper from the wall you will have a connect the dots style outline.

Used in quilting sometimes too.

Have fun,

Pat

That was going to be my other idea.
Or even a stencil form of the image.

Here is what painting #1 looks like. I intend to do 3 of them. Kute Kitten and her sister have bunkbeds and I decided to personalize the wall in their area. These paintings are Kute Kittens. Her sister I was able to find stencils for. I am doing Kute Kittens first.

Here is painting #2. Kute Kitten picked out the colors and then I went to work tracing and painting.

Both are very cute pictures. I am sure your daughters are going to love them....
Adds a little extra personal touch to there own spaces when they get to pick out there own decorations....
