all you need is Love...

Toodling around blogland I have seen on several occasions some version of the saying, "all you need is love, love is all you need." And well...not wanting to fall behind, I decided to make my own mind's eye of the saying.

Here's what I did:

I spray painted a 11 1/4" x 11 1/4" mdf board Italian Olive 

(that my Mr. cut from a 6' mdf board. He also routered the edges)

Sanded it so it was nice and smooth.

(*sorry forgot pic)

I used mod podge and put a damask patterned paper on it.

I distressed the edges with Walnut Distress Ink...because I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it yet.

AH HA!! Plan made.

I created my design and used my Silhouette to cut the vinyl lettering out.

I used transfer tape for the transfer process.

Transferred the vinyl to the board.

I dry brushed SW's Divine White across the front.

Then added Distress Ink to the front.

I peeled the lettering off and ended up with this:

The Divine White pulled the blues and greens from the damasks. {like}

I distressed the front and edges. AGAIN. =)

It is actually read-able in real life.

~~>*And if I knew how to work my camera...this might have been a better picture*<~~

boo hiss!

It wasn't as I had envisioned it would be but it is what it is. ;)

I like it...for now!
