Good morning,
I bought this wood product lead from The Dollar Tree, but I was not very fond of the design on it but thought I could use some ink and stamps to change it up a bit. When I got home and was checking it over more closely, I realized that there was a monogram W in the design so decided to overhaul the whole thing.
I found some pretty leaf paper in my files, found my new jar of matte finish mod podge and got to work.
I traced around the leaf and trimmed close to the lines so I would have very little paper to remove.
Once done, I brushed mod podge onto the leaf and placed the design paper on top, rubbing and smoothing. Then I set aside to dry.
When it was completely dry I was able to do a bit more trimming with a pair of small sharp scissors I have, next I used an Exacto knife to remove the rest, followed by a bit of work with sandpaper.
When I was happy with it, I covered the sides and top with another could layers of mod podge, then finished it off with a small twine bow.
Very happy with the way it turned out!
Supplies: 5 x 7 card
- Design paper from The Paper Studio
- Leaf from The Dollar Tree
- Mod Podge, Matte Finish
Thanks for Stopping By,
Cara
