A Clipboard? Really!

I really love making items look vintage.  I have a growing collection of mulberry roses, butterflies, buttons, vintage photos, etc.  Today's fun started with a $1.98 clipboard!

I love how it turned out!



I started by covering the clipboard with paper from "The English Garden" by Hackney & Co.  I then hot-glued lace to the outer edge of the entire board.  Next I began adding vintage embellishments.  There are several pictures from Tim Holtz and images from The Graphics's Fairy printed and the edges curled to look aged.  I added a beige doily, metal charms, mulberry roses in several colors and flat-backed pearls.I added an organza bow to the clip with a rose in the center.  The final touch was a large butterfly I received from a crafty friend.

You can take just about any object and make it lovely!  I hope you are encouraged to make something lovely today!
