Decorative Letter

January was national papercrafting month and Close To My Heart ran a special for Love Letters.  These were monogram letters about 15 inches tall that were beautifully decorative.  Well I finally got to put mine together and here it is:

I was pretty amazed at all the flowers that came with it.  The letter itself was chipboard and there was a half gold, half white letter that you glued to the chipboard and as you can see there were bunches more flowers than you would ever need.  The bashful and gold pearls were my addition, however.  I really love those pearls.  Anyway here is a little closer look at the flowers.

They were also lots of fun to put together.  The leaves were a gold foil and the letters were stickies.  It looks beautiful in real life.  I'm actually glad I got this.  Papercraft projects are what is my favorite!

Happy crafting!
