Here Comes the Bride!

Hello, Friends!  So, glad you stopped by today!  As I've said before, my son is getting married this month and I've been tasked with helping using my crafty skills.  Today I'm showing you the signs that will be carried down the aisle by the bride's twin five-year-old nephews. 

Cricut Cartridge:  StoryBook
Punch:  Martha Stewart
Other:  Artist Canvas.  Mod Podge Glimmer, Mod Podge Matte, Clear Acrylic Spray

Recipe:

• Artist Canvas = purchased at Hobby Lobby.  Size is 16" x 20".
• Border = punch several lace borders using Martha Stewart punch.  Borders were attached using Mod Podge Glimmer.

• Letters = cut at 3" using Cricut StoryBook cartridge.  Letters attached with Mod Podge Matte.  Once dry, add a second coat of Mod Podge Matte.
• Spray completed signs with Clear Acrylic to protect.

I will probably add some ribbon at the back to allow the signs to hang from the children's necks.

I hope you enjoyed today's project.   As always, comments are welcomed and appreciated!

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!  ~ Marilyn
