This is the board after the drybrushing technique- it's actually very simple to do! If you want it to look even more rustic, you can sand the painted wood before moving on to the next step!
Don't be afraid to freehand lettering (but I'd recommend pencilling in the letters to make sure everything fits!
Use both ends of the paint brush!
I used the "wrong" end of the paint brush for the red "shadow" of the lettering
The completed project - check out the link at the bottom to find out more!
It's amazing how a dry brush technique can make wood look weathered!
