I don't know about you guys but lately I have been seeing some adorable hand painted signs and tiered tray decorations. My sister decorates her tray for all the seasons. She cuts out the image on a silhouette and "weeds" out the image to leave a stencil of sorts then adheres that to her wood piece and paints through the stencil...NOPE! That is too much work for me!
This weekend we celebrated her birthday and I decided to see if I could create a few mini signs for her tray using stamps...YES! That is more my speed!
I took scrap wood blocks from another left over project (They were about 3"X4".) I also painted onto a wood slice tag I had. You can use any wood pieces you have. I painted them with chalk paint. When it dried, I sanded it for a smooth surface and the corners for a distress look (Paint a under layer of darker color if you want darker distressed edges.) Then with STAZON inks, I stamped firmly only my block. I let it sit for a a little longer than I would with paper then pulled it off - it really stuck down so don't be surprised if you have to pull it with a little strength (but be gentle )
That is it. It turned out precious! And it didn't require all those steps - I just dug through my stash of stamps and saw them with brand new eyes! It was awesome to have new uses for them. I have a stack of them on my desk now begging to be used on the next "Sign". Yay - this project was a win twice! And with Christmas being just down the road, it may be a great gift idea too. Hmmmm...
Your challenge is to create on wood. You can get wood shapes and tags at any of the craft stores if you don't have scraps lying around.
