My husband had some old clipboards tucked away in the garage. I found them over the weekend and decided to give them a French-y touch. Here is the first one I did:
First, I glued some sheet music to use as my background. Then I hot glued the vintage lace around as a border. The little white frame is from Michael's but I scored it at a garage sale for 25 cents. I used a religious photo from The Feathered Nest in the frame.
Next came the dried flowers - tied with twine and hot glued on. I also added some French poetry paper beneath the frame. I typed up some words to Ave Maria using a French script font. I distressed the paper a bit and a piece of wood, and added both in the corner.
Finishing touches were the rhinestones in the corners of the lace and the brown and cream tea-stained seam binding.
My husband wanted to know if I was adding it to my Etsy shop, but I'm keeping this for myself. =) I have it propped up in the tea room for now. I can't wait to get to work on the other one.
