Cheryl Boglioli is such a talented designer. I noticed her as she worked in the Craft and Hobby Industry with different companies and I always admired her design work. When she introduced herself during a tradeshow one year, I was very impressed with her professionalism and eventually ask Cheryl to do her magic on our wood pieces. I think you’ll agree that Cheryl has provided you with a beautiful design incorporating some fun techniques you might like to try. Thanks Cheryl!

Directions:
* Fuse only until wax is shiny. Do not re-melt wax or overfuse.
** Very lightly fuse over stenciled PanPastel®. If you overfuse, PanPastel® will shift.
Here are a few close up photos so you can see some of the detail work.
How true! And if you love cherries, like I do, you find that life is great.
I love our wood pieces with the silhouette cut-outs. They are fun to use with photos, embellishments or any added features. And this particular project was so simple and quick – again adding to the delight for the finished piece.
So, let’s get started. I misted the entire wood piece with Tattered Angels® Glimmer Mist Marmalade: http://mytatteredangels.com . No need to seal the wood first, just mist and wait for it to quickly dry.
Next I choose the letters from the Color Magic chipboard sticker letters by Heidi Swapp to spell the quote. Rather than misting the letters with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Trunk Bay, I gently shook the bottle from side to side to distribute the “glimmer” and brushed with letters with a medium flat brush.
Once the letters were dry, I peeled them off the sheet and placed them on the dry Silhouette wood piece. I added the name of the author of the quote – Bob Fosse – with Tim Holtz® plastic sticker letters.
I found a fun embellishment from Jennifer Heynen and used a screw eye to hang it in the square opening.
Secure the screw eye in the square opening and tie the hanging cherries with a scrap of white ribbon.
So easy and so fun to make.
