Vintage Framed Chalkboard Bible Verse

My SON and DIL (daughter-in-law) visited a couple weeks ago.

We managed to fit an amazing amount of activity in one little weekend.

When she mentioned that she was interested in making a chalkboard Bible verse,

we were all in.  Let's squeeze in one more activity.

 First we had to shop for the vintage frame.  

The right size and right amount of raised ornamental detail.

I had DIL paint two coats of an off-white on frame.

I came back at the end to do the fun part of dry-brushing

on a little gold highlighting.

 SON was in charge of cutting a piece of fiberboard to size

and giving it two coats of black chalk paint.

Then we coaxed my talented husband into doing the

chalkboard art that she wanted with a Chalk Marker.

One awesome family project.

One happy (and sweet!) DIL.
