Whitwashed Frame and Fall designs ~ Creative Day Thursday

Hi, Sweet Friends,

Today I'm showing how I made this cute sign out of an old frame and parchment paper.

I took a wooden 3 hole frame I've had for years and did a whitewash on it. I also had the whitewash and the white house paint from other projects. I used two coats of the whitewash and 3 coats of the white paint for the highlights.

I highlighted the inner areas of the 3 holes with darker white paint as well as the outer rim of the frame to emphasize the frame.

"Fall" written in Tombow Calligraphy pen in black.

Pumpkin was drawn in Tombow Calligraphy pen in black.

 I added 3 handwritten & hand-drawn pictures done on parchment paper and with a Tombow Pen.

Leaves are drawn in Tombow Calligraphy in black with grey highlighter from Crayola Markers.

Practicing letters and drawings.

I've propped the frame in a corner next to a cabinet. The pumpkin sign, "Thankful & Blessed" is from Dollar Tree.
