Give Thanks - Wall Hanging

Today I thought I would try to make a cheat's wooden wall hanging!  

I didn't have the correct wood to make the frame, but recently I had purchased some wood effect  paper......just perfect for my little project.

I found some wooden slats in the corner of the garage and glued them together.  I then used my Dulux tester pot of paint and painted the edges including the back of the wooden slats.  I trimmed a piece of paper from the Kaisercraft - Garage Days Collection using my cutting machine and adhered it to my painted board. I sanded some of the edges of the paper and inked around the frame using some brown Tim Holtz Distress ink.

I had just the right amount of brown vinyl to cut out my sentiment and leaf using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.  I then got my husband to drill 2 holes in the top of the frame and threaded some garden twine.

I hope you like my cheat's version of a wooden wall hanging!
