Happy Valentine's Day!

So here's my latest project and again, thanks to the Dollarama!

Now this board is actually a cork board with what was originally an ivory frame, courtesy of Winners.  I had the bright idea that I was going to turn it into a work of art for my niece's birthday present.  But, of course, it didn't work out - but I only figured that out once I had already painted it. 

So, I was walking through the Dollarama and saw this sign:

And I got an idea.

I went through my supplies and pulled out what I needed:

And then I ripped the paper (ignore the chocolate in the corner):

I then glued the strips onto the board with plain white glue:

And then I painted it purple and once that dried - silver and once that dried gold.  I did this a few times until I decided I was satisfied with the combination of colours:

And I did the same with the sign, but put a layer of white glitter on it, too - just to give it a little shimmer:

And here's the finished product:

You may have noticed that purple seems to be a theme here.  But these projects are for the bedroom which is, you guessed it, purple.

I'll try to work on another room soon.
