Back to the TopI can’t find the sage blue, the green deep or the dark green deep could you please make a recommendation for me for these colors. Thank you!
It seems Americana Paints may have changed some color names, I have updated the post with their colors that best match what we used for this project! To get a variations in the green tones as we did on our leaf try mixing some greens you may already have on hand. 🙂
I love hostas and thought this was a perfect project. The paint colors and pattern are spot on! I was wondering if I could make a plant suggestion to be made? A Rubber Plant. They are one of my favorites, and I think it would be a spectacular addition to your house plant collection.
I’m so glad you love the hosta! We have this rubber plant: https://liagriffith.com/printable-ruby-rubber-plant/, is that what you had in mind?
