Swift Gifts

 So I have decided to start a month long challenge for myself.  I am calling it Swift Gifts, I hope to inspire myself to complete my already started gifts and complete some that I haven't.  So today I am sharing my Holiday Subway Art.  This technique has been all over the crafty blogs and I think it is so cool.  Mine is the poor mans version. 

I do not know why it came out pinkish in the photo

First step was to find cheaper vinyl, so after perusing the aisle of walmart I have found this giant roll of contact paper for a under $6.  I can afford to make as many mistakes as it takes.

Then most sub art is done on a wood base and I thought foam core would work pretty well and I could cut it any size I needed but,  where I live supplies are hard to come by and  unless you want to drive an hour, you use what resources you have.   So I found a piece of cardboard the exact size needed {just lucky} and painted it black.

 Then I stickled the frame that I had from this project to add a little bling.  Next I cut  a few words in different fonts and sizes.  The Peace and Believe are UL rub-on's that a friend had given me, it gave it just a little depth.
And lastly I added a piece of ribbon to the back for hanging.   I still think it needs something around the edge, because I have it hung on a white wall, so I may add that later.  I want to do another one that is just random and not holiday oriented.  I did see one today that had a Christmas tree in the middle of it.  I love that you can add any words or phrases or symbols that you like that are unique to you. 

Hope you found a little inspiration and stay tuned as I will try to post my Swift Gifts as often as possible.
