Vintage Chalkboard Inspired Art

This weekend I have a wedding to attend.

I love weddings.

I love cake!

So I wanted to make something extra special.

Something out of my box.

A vintage chalkboard would be cute. Right?

But.

Chalk doesn't last. Boo.

So I went with an idea that I had...

I went forth and made a real chalkboard.

I studied how it looked. How it felt.

How the chalk dusted over the board.

And I washed all of my work away...LOL

Above is the finished "real" chalkboard.

I then put my newly learned skills to the test and recreated "the look".

This time instead of using chalk I used paint.

It took some do'overs but I did it!

I made the ever so popular "chalkboard look"  permanent.

Would this not be oh so cute for a garden wedding??!!

No worries of someone walking up and rubbing it to see if it's real chalk.

We all have those cousins...LOL!!

After the wedding...

A sweet reminder of your special day to hang on your wall.

I just hope she likes it too!

I think I will be adding this design to my shop!
