So in LOVE!

With this sign that I just finished.  A few months ago I saw this sign on Pinterest and I fell in love with it, so I immediately went and cut the vinyl for it and there it sat haha, I knew in my head how I wanted it to look but it took me a few months to really figure out how I wanted to do it so it looked how it did in my head. So here it is I will walk you through the steps I took to make it. I plan on putting it next to my new Black Chunky Framed cork board that I plan on pinning kids pictures on.
                                                
                                                     I took this sign and ripped the vinyl off

Then I painted it black and then white.

 HA! I didn't take any other pictures until I finished it, But After I painted it white I let it dry and while it was drying I made all the flowers from different black and white fabrics I added some tulle and buttons to give it more texture and variety. After the flowers were made and I let the board sit and dry all night I got out my NEW POWER TOOL!!! I love it (thanks Dad) its a electric hand sander. So I just ran the sander over the board until I got the desired distressed look that I had in mind.  After that I added the vinyl and flowers AND VOILA! I am in love with it.
