Hello again, Domestic Superhero readers! It’s Amy from Delineate Your Dwelling. I write about all things that make my heart go pitter patter over at Delineate Your Dwelling. I’m so excited to be here with you all today sharing my Stay Sharp Succulent picture I put together for my office area.

SUPPLIES:

Cute gold scissors (always a must)

Burlap wrapped board

Assorted ribbons

Gold Paint Pen

Chalk (or colored pencil)

My first order of business was covering my board with ribbon. I wanted the background to have lots of color and pattern since I would be adding a more plain chalkboard overtop. I cut the ribbons to size and glued the edges to the back for a clean look.

Next I sprayed a piece of cardboard with chalkboard paint and cut it into an oval shape. I wanted a whimsical look, so I purposefully cut it not perfect. I added some gold trim with the paint pen.

Here is my tip of the day! For a chalk look without future smears, use a white colored pencil. Be sure you know what your design will look like because you can’t erase once you start.

I added a little “stay sharp” sign and added a small piece of cardboard to the back to give it some dimension.

I love how this turned out!

It has a chalkboard look but with more whimsey and color.

Thank you so much for having me today, Allyson! If you would like to see a few other of my favorite projects, be sure to stop by Delineate Your Dwelling and say hello!
