This is the first project in my cancer charity fundraiser series; this adorable serving tray.
Originally I had tried to source a hope chest to apply it on but my search was not to be fulfilled.
So I chose 3 smaller projects to use the 3 piece transfer on; a serving tray, a vintage suitcase and a solid maple door which would be turned into a serving tray.
For the serving tray I envisioned a design on the serving surface with many of the inspirational words.
Left - paint stenciled on Right - stencil lifted to reveal the design
Not one to waste paint, I used the stencil brush to paint the tray frame two coats of the English rose pink. When everything was dry, all surfaces were
sponge sanded smooth.
The final step was to add the inspirational words from the transfer. I arranged the words and images over the tray and transferred them onto the surface.
Then put the tray back together and it was complete! I love it, it turned out just as I had envisioned.
Thank you to all my bidders, post sharers and winning bidders for the support on this project.
This sweet tray brought in $50.
