Fall Leaves
I have been LOVING the fall weather. The colored leaves always make me happy as I drive from one practice (soccer, football, dance, gymnastics...) to another in the afternoons.
And being so inspired...I created this fun fall leaves sign!

When I did my Spooky Halloween Sign I had done the ink transfer method in a chevron pattern to this board...
Here is a little picture tutorial on how I did the ink transfer to the wood.
It seriously took me less than five minutes.
I couldn't decide if I just wanted the word fall in a fun color or three leaves in different colors...
I opted to do both. I cut the word and leaves on my Cricut, then hot glued them to the board. You will notice I just used some craft foam to make the leaves pop up just a little.
Oh and I almost forgot...
I had gotten a cheapo plastic frame from Hobby Lobby. It was too boring so I spray painted it a fun fall color. I had the spray paint left over from my Halloween Spider Craft. And there you have it!
I really wanted the leaves to be the focus.
I hope you are enjoying your fall weather!
