I guess I really am a scrapper in more ways than one! A few weeks ago my buddy Joanne at Joanne’s Scraps in Life found a treasure trove of wood! I asked her to keep an eye out for pallets that we could use and she unearthed an entire burn pile behind the company her husband’s family owns. Yes, we got some weird looks as we loaded it up! We didn’t take all of it. But we found some great barn wood.
So, I grabbed some of the wood, white paint and vinyl. Here is the result.
How to Work With Vinyl and Paint
To give the wood the distressed look I painted lightly with white acrylic paint.
I used the negative space of the dress form from the Cricut “Wall Decor and More” as a stencil. The bonus was when I lifted the stencil and it removed some of the paint to add to my distressed vibe.
Then I filled the space in with red paint and black for the dress stand. Paint gave it a great texture. It almost looks like a wrap dress.
The words I cut from vinyl using my Cricut. I used the Gypsy Font.
This was straight up vinyl. The next one I make will have bling as well. I wonder who might like this?
After a conversation with my girl Fancy Melissa, this sign had to be made. She is right! Sometimes you just have to be bold to get the results you want! I did something bold today. Doesn’t this sign make you want to do something BOLD??
