I was inspired by that gorgeous weathered door and the rainbow of cascading colors. To start, I pulled out a host of polka dot papers, cut them in strips, distressed the edges and then layered them together to make a rainbow background.
Next I embossed the flowers from Let it Be on the pink polka dot paper, fussy cut and distressed a bit, accenting with a rhinestone center. Some Sprightly Sprigs greenery is layered behind and then I started on my wooden sign. I picked out a piece of woodgrain paper, then layered a piece of vellum over it to soften the look. The sentiment is one of my favorites and embossed in white. I stitched the two layers together up on the top, then accented with two brads for nails. A bit of lace trim and a whole lot of distressed edges finishes things off.
