So, if you follow along on Facebook, you may remember me saying that I was pretty sure I hated something I was working on last week. This is it.
I started with a 16 X 20 canvas (2 for $7.99) and some chipboard letters ($1.77 each).
I gave the canvas a coat of the same aqua paint I used to paint my piano (Watery from Sherwin Williams) and then laid out the letters.
I made some pencil marks (which were impossible to photograph)so that I could get them back in the same place.
I painted my letters using this table runner from Target as the inspiration for my color palette.
Then, I just hot glued them to the canvas.
It’s grown on me…A LOT. And, it’s way cuter with the bunting, which I’ll post about shortly. (Tomorrow, I swear. The post is done and scheduled already!)
Do you decorate for Valentine’s? Do you use the traditional red and pink or do you branch out a bit?
I really like this, Char, and I'm not much of a Valentine's Day decorator. I think I'm going to have to make one of these, though. Love the color combo.
I really like it also. It doesn't scream Valentine's Day so it can stay up anytime of the year.
I LOVE those colors!!!
I'm with Gwen, I don't do a lot of Valentine's decorating but THIS, I LIKE! I love it! It's wonderful, adorable, cute, beautiful!!!! Really, I'm gushing, but sincere!
super cute! where did you find the letters for $1.77, I know I must live in a box! lol.
I think I might make one for my wall too!
I picked them up at Hobby Lobby.
Oh, I love it! So cute! And love the colors you chose!
This is SO CUTE! When you posted about hating what you were working on I was curious about what it was…and I can't believe this is it! It's SO ADORABLE.
I usually do use red/white but all that cute stuff @ target in rainbow colors is making me rethink.
I am totally copying this!!! You rock!!!
I LOVE it
Do you mind sharing the info on the colors you used for the letters?
Not a big Valentine's Day decorator at my house, but holy cow … I love this! And I love that it's not an ode to red and pink: the lime and aqua rock.
I love this….love love it..it doesnt scream valentines day and i think my husband would love that. he is jsut getting used to the fact that I am over decorating LOL
I LOVE it! No pun intended! You could even leave it up year round! I just might make one myself! Where do you get the chipboard letters? Joann's doesn't have any that straight/streamline. And we don't have a hobby lobby…gasp!
it matches my daughter's room… so cute! great idea!
I like it! I think branching out from just red and pink is a GREAT idea!! I haven't decorated this year… Cause I'm not in my own house… But I WILL! When I get my own house..
I love this. So clean and modern. And not too complicated for someone like me, who is lacking in the craft department…
Soooo cute! And I love the colors! I saw the table runner at Tar-jay, I think!
This is so cute. I already have the canvas and I've been looking for inspiration. It's great!
Char! I super duper love this! I'm kind of a super clean and modern gal….this thing is speaking to me. Like, loudly. I think it's genius. I may have to duplicate. And you can call me copy-cat.
I love love love this adorable canvas! It is so cute!
LOVE! I am definately making one of these or two.. maybe three! These is awesome!
I love this! Great blog – I'm a new follower!

I L.O.V.E. this and am so glad you did a tutorial…
You are ridiculous! This is amazing! I will take it if you decide you do not like it anymore. I am in love with the colors.
I love this!!! I am going to Michaels tomorrow and I am making this!
where did you find the chipboard letters? I've looked everywhere!
Cindy, I found mine at Hobby Lobby.
I think this is wonderful. A perfect adaptation of the Noel sign that was out there this past Dec.
Love, love, love the LOVE!
I love this. Such a nice Valentines gift.
Hugs,

Thanks so much! I made a Valentines outfit using your inspiration – see it here: http://mamaslittlecoffeebreak.blogspot.com/2011/02/miscellany-monday-27.html
Thanks again!
What a fun way to say LOVE
I just found this after following a link from Curbly and I’m going to make it for the bedroom the hubby and I just remodeled using the colors we picked for the room. I spent $0.99 for the letters at Hobby Lobby, $0.67 a tube for the colors (3 total) and $4.56 for a pack of two canvases at Wal-mart. Cheap wall art that doesn’t look cheap. A great idea, Char.
This is awesome! What colors did you use for the letters? Thanks!
Sadly, we do not have Hobby Lobbys here in California
What would you suggest using instead?
CHAR, I have wanted to make this since I saw it last year on you blog. I finally got it done, and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!! Thanks for sharing your great idea’s. http://alidawnscrafts.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-day.html
This is adorable! I am going to post this on my so cheap, so easy series tomorrow. I will link back to your tutorial. Thanks for the great idea!
