Mixed Media Monday: Love sign (quick tutorial)



So I had this gap on my gallery wall that was driving me nuts. It was big enough for you to notice the blank space but not really big enough for me to fit another canvas painting there unless I had one that was specifically long and narrow.


Last week, I spotted this Kaisercraft MDF LOVE sign at a craft supply store and thought that it just might be the right size. Yep, my superpower is eyeballing spatial proportions. *winks*


I covered the LOVE sign with remnant lace fabric.


Next I went in with a coat of clear gesso. Once that dried, I went in with some spray mists.


Then I went in with my hot glue gun and pearl trim.


I had grandeur plans of adding bling and blooms and all sorts of pretty things but decided to leave it as it was because this already took several hours!


I really love how it turned out actually. :) What do you think?

Thanks for explaining how you made that fabulous 'love' sign. The lace under the gesso is a terrific idea.
