I finished painting the letter from Build-A-Cross.com with a basecoat of navy paint and then followed with a rolled coat of chalkboard paint. Once it dried it was a beautiful, deep black! The perfect base for white lettering!
As I said in my previous post, instead of writing with chalk that would wipe off easily, I wanted a permanent solution to write the words to my and my husband's favorite song.
"From this moment, life has begun. From this moment, you are the one. Right beside you is where I belong. From this moment on." ~Shania Twain
I gave this to him as a Valentine's gift this week! I love you, babe!
I simply hand-wrote all the words. I wasn't really concerned about neatness or making everything fit just right. I just wanted to make sure all the words made it on there! My Uncle Alan and Aunt Sharon sang this song for us at our wedding and I don't think anything could have been more beautiful! I found out after the fact that my uncle was not exactly up for it. I'm not sure why! But being the wonderful man he is, he agreed. (I'm not sure I really have him a choice!) Uncle Alan, do you care to elaborate? ;)
So we've shown you the casual chalkboard. Let's look at a custom sign project we did on another chalkboard background. "You Are My Sunshine" is a special song for so many and these two signs are an example of matching sister pieces made for my husband's mother and aunt. Their dad always sang this song to them so we used the lyrics and a little scroll work to dress up an old school sign and make it perfect for both of their home decor.
Distressing made it look more authentic and worn.
These signs, like all of our custom signs, are completely hand-painted.

Now, let's do some Old School junkin'!
