You know how it is.... You search for something to finish the room off but just can't find exactly what you want wrong colour, wrong size, wrong shape etc...
So in my head I knew what I wanted and kept trying to explain it to Chris but couldn't get the vision across to him.
So I started by cutting out some wording in vinyl on my Silhoette Portrait in two colours and then went in search of some planks of wood.
I used a roller to paint on my darkest colour of Matt paint and then left it to dry.
Once dry I retreated to my craft room and started brushing on the PVA Glue
Before it dried I painted over the top with the lighter shade of paint.
The the magic begins, using my heat gun I started to heat over the glue and paint and before your eyes it does this brilliant crackle effect.
Making the planks of wood look all distressed. Now for adding the wording once the paint is dried, I kept the backing paper on my vinyl until I was happy with how it looked.
Once I was happy I applied the vinyl then started to rope up my creation.
With the finale knot being tied it was ready to hang on the wall.
As you can see, I'm a tad proud on my new wall hanging.
