How To Create a Spring Sign

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to show you how to create a Spring sign.  With Spring finally on it's way, it's time to start thinking about Spring decorating.

I have had this wood panel in my stash for awhile and thought it would be a great idea to upcycle it.  Using the Delta Sander I sanded it before painting.

I painted the panel first with white gesso, and while still slightly wet, I painted on a layer of purple  Plaid Paint.  Mixing it with the gesso softened the color.

Once dry, I again used the Delta Sander  to lightly re-sand the panel so some of the wood texture would show.

Die cut a rabbit from cardstock.  Add her to the left side of the sign, adding a wiggly eye and a cottonball tail.   Die cut several butterflies and punch some Easter Eggs from assorted Rinea Foiled Papers.

Die cut SPRING from Rinea Foiled Papers.  Mat each letter with cardstock and place on the panel.  Used the Kapro Measure Mate to line up the letters on the panel.

 Create some grass and add over the Easter Eggs.

Finish by adding some tiny eggs amongst the strands of grass.

Thanks for stopping by.
