LAISA

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I had a friend at work who commissioned me to create a set of letters for one of her friends who was having a baby shower.  She asked for the name LAISA (pronounced Lah-ee-sah), Hello Kitty and the colors pink and green.  Here was my photo inspiration:

Here's what I came up with (apologies in advance for the bad photos, I took them at work):

 Here are close-ups of the letters (thank goodness these were a lot clearer):

 

I used 3 different types of embossing folders, 5 different types of cardstock, including two different patterned papers.  I used an old Sizzix die to create the Hello Kitties.  The wood chip butterflies are from Recollections.  The letters themselves were purchased from Michaels.  I used Mod Podge to glue and seal the paper to the wood and then used a Glossy sealant spray to give it a nice shine.  The ribbons and butterflies were then glued on last.  It's been while since I attempted one of these and I"m proud to say it only took me a couple hours to put together and longer to dry.  The best thing about the whole process was when I showed it to my friend, she said, "It turned out just how I pictured it would!"  I was over the moon!  Love it when a customer is happy with the results.  I have another set of letters that I need to work on, but the name isn't as short, I guess that's why it's taking me so long to finish.  Oy vay! 

Thank you for stopping by!  Hope you have a terrific day and I might have something to share again tomorrow.  Not sure yet.  lol!

Hugs,
