I love it when things come together!  I wanted to do an Autumn themed project for the Creating The Hive  challenge when I saw the Faux Barn Board tutorial on Splitcoast.  Eureka!  I dropped everything else on my cluttered desk and started creating farm inspired projects!  

 

This technique is too much fun!  It took me a few tries to get the look that I wanted - but I'll be doing this again and again!
