I have a new project I am working

I got a great idea for decorating my daughters wall. Lucky for me my dear friend Ginny has been giving me soooo many wonderful treasures, I had enough wooden frames to make a name sign (I needed seven). 

I got these frames from my dear friend Ginny

I cut backgrounds for the frames

I used some cardboard to cut out the letters to my daughters name.

I painted the frames and letters a variety of colors using acrylic paint. 

here are the letters in the frames

I pulled out the punches it was time to make some flowers

these are the shapes I used. 

for me I choose the colors I want the paint the flowers, then punch out the shape and then paint them. I used to paint after I assembled the flowers but the petals stuck together and I was having to use my heat tool a lot.

after the shapes are colored I punch a hole for the brad and layer the shapes

a tip: start with the smallest shape first then add as many petals as you like.  

using a variety of shapes and kinds of paper you get a different looking flower

this is a sample of what is to come. I love the bling on the letter,  Camille came up with that one.

This is a far as I got with the project this weekend, I try to keep working on it as the week progresses.

I hope you enjoyed this take good care Cheers -Cyn \l"/
