The first thing I did was paint the pieces of wood with black paint.
I then picked out all the paper I was going to use. I used most everything from a company called 7gypsies. They sell scrapbook and hardware supplies that have a very vintage feeling. I picked about 8 different pieces of paper. Some were red, gold, black, and brown.
I then ripped the paper into different pieces and sizes and mod podged them into place. I didn't do any kind of pattern because I wanted it to look rustic and old.
I cut out the words: love, cherish, and adore. ( I haven't made the one that says cherish yet)
I mod podged each word in the middle of the board.
To make everything come together I brushed everything with some black paint and wiped it off.
The one that says "love" I added three black keys with some ribbon as well as some black and gold buttons on the bottom that say different words.
The one that says "adore" i added two crowns and embellished them with buttons.
I love using mod podge, but i used a glossy finish for this project and i would have rather used a matte finish so i might go over them again with a coat of mod podge but use a matte finish.
