Hi all, it's Christi with a project that was inspired by my Globecraft& Piccolo teammate Tracy (see her project HERE), I took one of my recent goodies and decided
to use the leftover chipboard as a stencil. For my project today I made a very simple wall hanging.
I could of made a beautiful card out of this just as easily, but my walls are bare! And, yes, I realize there is nothing on this to hang it yet, but I am going to be ordering wall hangers from G&P!
I used:
Piece of Vellum Card Stock
(thicker than regular vellum)
White card stock
Dylusions Ink Sprays
Removable tape (to hold
the stencil)
Scrap mat board
Brads
I removed all of the keys (there are 18 of them and they are 2" long)
and took the leftover frame, taped it down on a piece of card stock and sprayed
away with my Dylusions Ink Sprays.
I cut the stenciled
card stock down to size (I removed all the “over spray”) and then cut a piece
of scrap mat board the size of the stenciled card stock. Before I attached the cardstock to the mat board, I found a cool
quote (I know, another one!), set it up in Microsoft Word, adjusted the font
and such until I liked it, then printed the quote on vellum card stock.
I chose vellum card stock instead of regular
vellum because I wanted to be able to still see the keys behind the quote, but
I didn’t want the keys to be so visible that they were a distraction.
Another GREAT quote!! |
I cut the quote down to
the size I wanted (after I let it dry – very important that you don’t touch the
printed quote for a few minutes – how do I know? Guess!) and attached that to the card stock using
brads. Glued the card stock onto the
mat board and now I have another cool piece to hang in my studio!
Can you see the Key Holder?!? |
A final look. . . |
I wish you all a happy
holiday weekend ~ Christi
