I made a sign for my front door with our Decor Elements.  I painted the wooden plaque with a light tan acrylic paint, and the edges on the molding with the green acrylic, and added gold over the green with a dry brush to add highlights.  I have ribbons to hang it by once I get my picture hanging hardware kit out of the garage.  I’m waiting for dh to return from his 3 state trip so he can move all the Halloween bins out of the way of my drill gun and hardware! 

The WELCOME is a Decor Element in chocolate, size LARGE.  The wood piece is 23" long, to accomodate this size.  It’s great for a set of double doors or a front patio.  I thought about the olive because it would have matched my paint nicely, but I wasn’t sure if it would be dark enough to be seen.

All of the paint is from Making Memories, used for scrapbooking, so it’s acid free believe it or not!  You definitely don’t need to use this on the wood, because Michael’s has plenty of companies of acrylic paints.  Some were on sale for 2/$1 this week.  I like Folk Art brand personally.

You can see more Decor Elements here.  The new phase II just came out.  I really love the flowers and other ways of decorating a girl’s bedroom!  Too bad I don’t have any girls.   

Spooky is coming next!
