May 2012*
I was able to find a wall plaque on clearance at Micheal's for only .15. I was able to re-purpose it and turn it into a beautiful wall hanging for my Mom. I used papers from Die Cuts with a View Citrus Stack. Inked and distressed the edges using Tim Holtz walnut stain and tool. I used a quilling tool to make my flowers that I cut using the Cricut Cartridge Flower Shoppe. Liquid Pearls and ribbon help to finish this handmade project up. I handmade the stick pin using hot glue beads from my stash. You too can easily create beautiful handmade gift for someone you love!
