Heaven Sent Sign

Maya Road

Do you have a new baby joining the family or a friend with one on the way? My cousin and his wife are expecting a baby girl in May, so I thought I would make a sign for her room. You can use this in place of a "card" as I intend to do. I think it is a nice alternative to a card and it can be displayed. I couldn't decide on just 1 or 2 background papers, so I decided to make small squares, like a quilt and then I was able to add 4 patterned papers. You can use as many as you want. You can even just use an assortment of different scraps. To keep things mixed up, I used 4 different types of chipboard alpha too. This works well if you don't have a full set of one alpha available.

3. Adhere them to chipboard page evenly, taking care that the holes in the page are at the top. Punch out 2 of the holes through the patterned paper (to be able to add ribbon to hang).

4. Ink and glitter "Heaven" and set aside to dry.

5. Ink and cover "Sent" with Glossy Accents and set aside to dry.

6. Ink your angel wings and paint with sparkle glaze and set aside to dry.

7. Ink your chipboard scroll and cover with 1st color of Stickles. Set aside to dry. Once dry add accent color of stickles to scroll.

8. For the added initial keychain- ink round chipboard scallop frame on the front and back. Ink your initial (baby's 1st initial if known, if not then use last name initial). Cover initial with Stickles and set aside to dry. Once dry add 3 jewel flowers to initial.
