Always Happy Home Decor

I wanted to add a little inspiration to my work area so I created this happy little framed sentiment. I used the American Crafts Shimelle True Stories collection. I put together a tutorial for you as well.

2. Apply gesso to patterned paper using a stencil pattern mask. Set aside to dry.

3. Using foam dots, adhere sentiment over a coordinating patterned paper.

4. Once the gesso is dry, insert it into your frame. Adhere the sentiment from step 2 on the glass of the frame (or remove the glass from the frame).

5. Add embellishments to the outside of the frame.
