Re-Purpose with Epiphany~


I started with this old Hymnal Marker that I found at an antique store.  EPIPHANY ~ I liked that { for some reason :):)}. I wanted to make something bigger out of it  but keeping the sign in its original state. The size of the sign is about 3" wide by 10" long ~ chipboard.


This is what I came up with.  It is on a metal sign and covered with old dictionary paper.  I used Helmar Decoupage and Helmar 450 Quick Dry.  The flowers are out of felt using a Sizzix die.  I used The Epiphany Crafts bubble shape Oval 25 and Epiphany Crafts button studio round 14.  


The Epiphany Craft's logo is in the felt flower.  Thanks for stopping in~see ya soon!!!

Love so much about this project -
the old dictionary page background,
the teensy Epiphany logo peeking out of a flower,
the word EPIPHANY,
and your gorgeous felt flowers!
Beautiful project, Connie!
