Spring is in the Air....and in the Home!!

Hi, Friends,

I want to share with you something that I created for Spring....actually I keep it here in my
scraproom.  Believe it or not, it is not a card or a layout.  It is a Spring plaque that I made
to welcome the new season.  Oh, forgive me for omitting the visual tutorial....
I was busy creating and did not take pics along the way as I usually do, wink!

Supplies:  Plaque, Acrylic Paint and "R" initial (JoAnn), Floral Paper

(DCWV), Brads (K and Company) and Ribbon (The Paper Studio).

1. Choose your favorite colors of acrylic paint and coat the plaque 2-3 times.  In between

    coats, paint your favorite initial 2-3 times.  Oh, I accented the "R" with crackle paint

    for a cool affect.

2. After the paint drys, trace a circle of your favorite paper and adhere it to the

    the plaque.

3. Take your favorite coordinating ribbon and tie a bow with enough of a tail so

    you can adhere you brads to it.

4. Accent your plaque with large brads as shown above.  Oh, I even have enough
    brads left over for a card or a layout-Yayyy!!

This makes a great wall hanging; it can also be propped on an easel for display.
 I hope that you have as much fun as I did creating your piece of home decor or
 whatever you would like to make for Spring!!

Thanks for popping by!  I hope that you have an awesome weekend!!

Happy Crafting,


Renee
