Just Rite Week! Home Wall Hanging

We are celebrating the new releases from Just Rite this week at Stamper's Dream! All week the team will be bringing you projects using all the newest stamps.I am in love with quotes and wall hangings. I adore the look of the signs you can buy in boutiques, but with Just Rite stamps, you can make your own! I have a giant binder full of quotes and now it is coming in handy. My sister and her husband are starting to look for their first house and this is going to be a perfect little house-warming gift for them.

I started by removing the glass from an IKEA wood frame. I mixed the paints to achieve the color brown I wanted. I chose a dark brown to work with patterned papers from My Mind's Eye I had put together. You can use any acrylic paint. Give it a little time to dry. For this project, I chose not to paint the back and insides, but it is all personal preference.

While waiting for the paint to dry, I grabbed a darling little tree and bird shape chipboard pieces from Maya Road. Wanting them to be colored, but not painted, I used an ink pad. I pushed the ink pad directly onto the chipboard until I got the amount of color I desired.

To spell out the word home, I used the Harmony Rectangle wood mount (large) and the 95 point Brayton font. I stamped the word in chalk ink so it would be soft and lighter that the rest of the wording. The image looks incomplete, but the texture of the paper caused it and it was the look I wanted to achieve. The paper is actually the back of one of the patterned papers. It has faded words typed on it, you can click for a closer look. It was cut from the paper with a Long Rectangle Spellbinders Die Template.

To write the rest of the sentiment, I used a dye-based ink in a dark shade of brown. I wanted it to stand out from the word home. The font is the new Times New Roman 25 point set. I mounted the letters on the same large rectangle mount. It helped me space the letters around the word home.

The edge of the frame needed a little extra something, so I stamped a paisley image and watermark ink. Once the ink dried, I sprayed the frame only, with Krylon clear, matte, waterproof spray paint, to set and protect the paint and ink.

I then placed the sentiments, papers, punched heart inside the frame. The tree and bird where glued to the outside of the frame.
There you have it. I hope I have inpired you to get creative with the Just Rite letters and to make some very special personalized gifts.

BTW-The weekend was a blast. The UMD Bulldogs ended up losing the game to get into the Frozen Four, but they had a fantastic season with an amazing end, so we are proud. We did some shopping and I was diagnosed with a sinus infection, no wonder I was not feeling well! :) I also got to eat at a favorite restaurant and spend some quality time with my husband, while DS spent quality time with grandpa and grandma. It was nice to have another little adventure! Hope your weekend was wonderful too! :) (((HUGS))
