Welcome to the 3rd annual Handmade Holiday’s Blog Hop! Aren’t handmade gifts the best?
As part of the Ice Resin design team, I was asked to participate in this blog hop. I received some fun items from Walnut Hollow and Clearsnap to work with, as well as Ice Resin. Let’s jump in!
I started with the wooden bistro sign which I lightly sanded and applied a light coat of acrylic paint.
Next I moved on to the Magic stamp. Using a heat gun and block of wood I created a wood grain stamp that I transferred to the bistro sign. The grain was then laid over the pre painted board using the Surfacez Caribbean ink. After this step, I applied torn tissue paper with decoupage for a light, transparent texture.
The lettering was also done using theSurfacez ink.
Next, the ampersand was painted and text applied, followed by smalll tack nails to attach. Lastly, a top coat of Ice Resin was applied to seal the deal!
Hop along and check out what my creative friends are up to~

ReplyDeleteWow, this is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe way you applied the wood grain was terrific. I've used that medium to stamp plants and flowers and even a wreath of tiny shells but never thought of wood grain. It is a great project and thanks for the great instructions.
