I made this for my little sister who will be going to college in the next couple of weeks. I wanted to give her something that she could hang in her dorm room and think of me when she sees it and know that she will always be in my thoughts during her time in college. She is the youngest of the bunch and the last one out of the nest. I'm so proud of her! She is a shining star and I just wanted her to know it!
This was a really fun project to make and also very easy! I took a piece of pressboad wood, cut 6" X 6". Painted it with Folk Art "Shiny" acrylic paint. I also went over it with some glitter paint. I stamped the flowers on the wood using white acrylic paint. I tacky glued ribbon along the edge for a more finished look. The flourishes are actually rub ons I found at Wal-mart. One of those purchases that you don't know what you are going to use it for, but just got to have it! I had to add some "Bling" and used my Spellbinder dies for the saying platform. All in all, I think it turned out pretty awesome. Can't wait to hear my baby sis' reaction when she see it. TFL!!
