Bluebonnets Father's Day Present


Our family are fans of Cross Canadian Ragweed.  Cody Canada wrote a beautiful song called "Bluebonnets" for his son.  It is a favorite so I chose to make a father's day present based on that song.  Here is what I did:
I bought a wall decor picture at hobby Lobby at half price so I paid $10 for this.
It is pretty as is but I want it to say something else.  I was hoping I could just flip the mat over but the paper was glued to the mat. So I will just paint over it.

After I painted 2 coats, I added the letter stickers and pictures to get this gem.

I hope you will listen to this song, it is so sweet. The link I gave is from youtube and it was a soundcheck before a concert. If you have not heard this band you really are missing out. Have a great father's day weekend.
