French Bistro Sign

I love this little $2 find....reminds me of an old tavern sign...complete w/ beer tabs as the hardware for hanging. I kid you not. Someone was quite resourceful.

I dry brushed on some white to give it a weathered look and painted the lettering in Wrought Iron then sanded it down to tone it down. I used a freebie font site and  my projector to enlarge the font. I had the stencil laying around and it seemed to go perfectly w/ the Frenchy Message.

Ohhh La la!
