Tanis Giesbrecht created this magnet board using a frame made out of barn board that she painted a nice deep black color. She adhered a sheet of Scenic Route paper (Worn Lined Background) to a piece of metal sheeting and tacked it on to the back side. Any type of frame will work for this project, just remove the glass and backing and cut a piece of metal sheeting to fit inside the frame.
She used the Oh Dear Silhouette set for the tree and the flower image under the glass magnets, then added two birds from the Banner Set in the upper right corner. Her title "home is best" was made with the Soda Pop Alpha letter stamp set.
The black patterned paper covering the key and word frame is from October Afternoon's Hometown Collection. The flourishes, word frame and key are from Tim Holtz's plain grungboard pack. Tanis painted the flourishes and then used her husband's framing hammer to distress it.
The glass pebbles are available at most craft supply stores. Adhere your stamped image with a glue that will dry clear and attached a small round magnet to the back.
Thanks for a beautiful project Tanis!
