Pomme et Poire

This Cute Idea was Inspired by Crafts By Amanda
French wall art is something I am totally obsessed with right now! This little project was a trial and error (like most of mine are) doosey!!! But here is how I did it!

I painted two wooden boards a nutmeg brown acrylic paint

After the paint dried, I applied this crackling medium on top.

When the medium was almost dry I quickly brushed on Antique white. You want to do this LIGHTLY. Don't get too much paint on the brush, because it doesn't crackle as good. And DO NOT go back over it, because it messes the crackle up (that

was the error on my part)

.

                  After the crackle and acrylic paint are completely dry, I cut out the shapes of an apple and pear from different colors of scrapbook paper, then Mod Podged it onto the board. After I added the vinyl letters, I mod podged the entire thing. {I also Don't have a cri-cut or vinyl machine so I had to buy letters at the mall. My parents were with me, and they had no idea why the heck they were standing in line for so long for some "dumb" letters haha.}

            

these will be on my wall in my kitchen SOON!!!!
