My friend, Jessica, was looking for a special birthday present, from her sons, to her husband. Together, we came up with this.
I took a canvas and painted it white. I dry brushed it with navy blue. We traced the kids hands and cut them out of scrapbooking paper. I Mod Podged the hands to the canvas. I cut the words (navy) and key (gold) from vinyl and transferred it on to the canvas. To make the canvas look framed, I hot glued navy blue ribbon, trimmed in gold, to the edge of the canvas. I was really happy with how it turned out and I think he liked it too.
This is so cute! I think this may end up being a fathers day project at our house! Thanks for the inspiration!
