Little Wall Hanging

I guess I've had a little wall hanging on my mind lately.  I've seen some really cute ones on various blogs, and since I haven't made one in a while, I thought that rather than a card this time, I would try one.  I took a piece of scrap cardboard, pulled off the top layer exposing the corrugated cardboard.  Then I smoothed out the paper, painted it with acrylic paints, chalked the edges to make it look aged, and then covered it with patterned papers and elements from the Summertime by Simple Stories. 


The scripture on this project, used as the focal point, is from Word Art Wednesday and you are welcome to stop by and pick up this free piece of scripture/word art and play along in our current challenge.  We would love to have you join us.

I am entering this wall hanging in a few challenges.

    Hi Karen
    Thank you for the invitation to visit your blog. I have spent ages here thoroughly enjoying myself. I just love your style. I took a 6 mo. break from crafting and recently returned to it with a total love and fascination for everything vintage and shabby chic. My new style is still evolving. lol I hope it evolves into something as lovely as yours. I've become your follower and will be back to visit you often. :)

    Your wall hanging is beautiful. I especially like the way you used the cardboard scrap. So clever! What a fabulous verse to have hanging in your home.

    Blessings!
    Shelly
