Today and part of yesterday, I created a treat for great friends who is expecting in a month or so. Lauren and Adam have blessed my life so much. I can't believe they are going to be parents soon. Little Laikyn is going to so blessed to have such amazing, loving parents. I wanted to create something special for the nursery and needed inspiration. I turned to my favorite svgcuts.com. Of course, they had tons of cute cut files and I had to make a decision on what it would be. I decided that since Laikyn's name is spelled differently it would be fun for her to have it in her nursery. So I chose to tackle the 3D Alphabet SVG Kit.Before I started on Laikyn’s name, I decided I would try my own initial first to see if it was very difficult...(remember, I had not read the instructions or watched the video yet.). Needless to say, the S was harder than I expected as you can see from the picture.
| My first attempt |
After watching the video tutorial and reading the instructions, I realized that the S is the hardest letter to master and Mary recommends that you start with other letters first. I am such a hard-head sometimes. But the S didn’t turn out that bad…and it is just for me anyway! It will be my little momento to "not" reading directions first!
This is the final project for Laikyn. I hope that her mommy likes it. I tried to match the colors of the nursery while trying to create a vintage, feminine feel.
I used LetteringDelights for the butterfly. I made the crochet flowers with a little instruction from my crafty mom. Please feel free to comment. I am always open for suggestions. Don't forget to check out SVGcuts.com if you are interested in really cool cut files.
