valentine's heart sign

i have had this router-ed piece of wood sitting in my craft closet for over 3 years now. i just never knew what to do with it so it stayed in there forever.

then last week i decided i needed some valentine's decor when i saw a cute little berry wreath at Micheal's. and that's where my idea began.

so i painted the wood brown (i've seen pieces like this at Micheal's for a few bucks) and then i sanded it a little.

next i printed the words 'be mine' (font - impervious) on a creme piece of cardstock.

then i distressed the edges using this ink that a friend introduced me to.


next i mod podge -ed it on the wood.

finally...


i nailed this little heart (which i ended up getting for 40% off at JoAnn's) underneath the writing.


here's the final product.

sit on an easel or hang with ribbon on the wall.
