Hello, everyone and happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog and I'd love for you to stop by if you have time :) This month, the designers were challenged to create projects outside our
norm, so today, I have a home decor project to share with you featuring several Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and embellishments.
So, when I had the idea to decorate the letter, I had my niece Lexi in mind. I thought I'd pretty up the L for her. Then when I finished, I thought, pink, flowers, why not just keep it for myself??!! Lexi never has to know if was supposed to be for her ;) But then my Mom saw it and said, "Oh, did you make that for me?" Her name is Lana :) So, to decorate my Mom's letter, I painted it pink and used papers from Lemoncraft on the inside. I covered the outside using Andy Skinner's Mega Crackle technique.
I used an assortment of flowers to cover the letter, including Lotus, Cottage Roses, Trellis Roses, Lily Flowers, Apple Blossoms, Hip Rosebuds, Sweetheart Blossoms and Open Roses.I also used Small Double Stamens, Pearl Sprays, Flat Back Pearl String and White Mulberry Paper Leaves.
And here it is lit up:

Oh my, this is so clever with the lights on and it's gorgeous! It was my Granddaugter Lucie's third birthday last week and I could just imagine this in her bedroom, she would absolutely adore it. You are such a talented lady and I wish there were more words to describe how beautiful your projects are, this is another stunner. Wishing you the happiest of weeks. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
Well, Miss Mermaid, I imagine you had one incredibly fun time putting this one together! And making it for Lexi is even extra fun, altho Beautiful L's are for LISA as well! It's a fabulous way of using all the "Miss Mermaid Style and Glamor" into a colorful, feminine, FUN endeavor! Lexi will absolutely treasure it! xx
Most amazing and creative post I have seen, love this classy glam post. "L" for LOVE xx [aNNie]
WOW!!! This is freaking gorgeous!!!!! OH MY GOSH Lisa you are so amazing my friend! I LOVE this!!!! Where did you get the "L" marquee at? Is it a cut file of some sort and is there an entire alphabet somewhere where I can purchase some letters? LOL Oh my I love this and I know my daughter would love it too! So beautiful, your mom is one lucky lady!!!!
Hope you have an amazing week my friend!
Hugs,

Wow absolutely beautiful - love the beautiful flowers - so well put together as always thanks for sharing my friend and have a great week!!!
Unique and so technique too Lisa! Great inspiration for all, you need to make one for your crafty desk too, LOL~ Enjoy your happy new week~
You need to keep your craft room door closed from now on! That's so sweet that you did this for your mom. It is truly lovely and what a wonderful gift for her. Now you can make one for your niece and yourself. It is fabulous.

This is awesome! Maybe you should have made 3 then you all could have one. I have a Lexi also, love that name.
Lisa , this is so lovely !!! Adore the design and wonderful flowers !!! I can see why you would need to make more than one of these beauties !!
Hugs&Blessings,
Mayra
WOW! This is just amazing!! I love it!! Hugs, Robin
Oh Lisa, this is so incredibly beautiful! Love the floral embellishing. btw, my initial is L too, just saying...wink wink!
How fun is this Lisa, Love the big L- the initial of my last name. Have a great day my friend
If Lexi reads this she will insist that you make her one too, and in your spare time you can make another one for yourself. Do you have a spare K lying around anywhere? So very fun and creative and what a wonderful night light.
WOW - this is stunning Lisa, no wonder your Mom wanted it, (you'll just have to make another for yourself now). Love the fact that you've used flower lights as well as all the pretty flowers, so very creative.

Absolutely fabulous!! The only way around the Lexi, Lisa, Lana issue is to make another two of these stunning 'L's Lisa... I love 3D projects and I really, really love this one, it is clever, beautiful and it lights up - how fabulous is that!! Well done my friend, it is amazing!! Hugs, Anne xx
Wow Lisa! This is absolutely amazing! A beautiful and creative decoration.
Hugs, Mar
Just stunning, Lisa! Sounds like you might need to make a few more.....perfect for me too, if you've got one left over! ;-)

Ooooohhhh.... Stunning project!!! Love, love it!! Fantastic idea, so unusual with lights!!! It looks so sweet and have amazing pink flowers, so feminine and delicate!!! I think you have to do two others of this!!! And I'm sure that if you have time to make ten as this, you will sell them all!:) Great home decor!!
Thanks for your kind comment on my loss
Hugs!
Wow, Lisa! This is brilliant! (no pun intended!) I have a marquee letter for each of my kids but never dreamed to decorate it with flowers. This is a vision - and so soft and lovely. Stunning work, my friend, and a perfect decorative addition to your room :)
What a stunningly beautiful work of art Lisa! You blow me away time and time again!! I certainly missed the beauty of your work whilst I was away! Thank you so much for your continued visits and sweet comments! Have a lovely evening and a great week! Luv & Hugs. Hazel xx

Yours is GORGEOUS! I still have to decorate mine... but now I think I should just mail it to you and have you decorate it for me!!! LOL Beautiful papers & colors and all those beautiful flowers... STUNNING!!! Have a Fabulous Day! HUGS! :)

There are no words to describe how absolutely amazing this is Lisa! I'm sure when Lexi sees it she will be asking for one.
Gorgeous!!!
Absolutely stunning! I love your project, the way you embellished it looks so amazing! Those papers and flowers are so gorgeous! I love it!
This turned out sooooooo pretty!
Stunning project Lisa. It looks just as beautiful when it's lit up. I'm sure your mom loves it. Now you have to make one for Lexi and one for yourself and while you at it, don't forget that I'm Lena :-)
Have a wonderful day, dear friend.

What a beautiful array of gorgeous flowers adorn this fabulous piece Lisa. I can see you having to make many more of these altered letters for your family members or even a whole name for yourself xxx
This is such a great idea. Wouldn't it be a great baby gift? I have a grand niece due any day now. They are keeping the name a secret. There sure are a lot of "L" names in your family. Have a great evening.
Oh wow dear Lisa, what an impressive creation. A fireworks of amazing flowers. Through the lighting they come to life very wonderfully. I am totally thrilled.
Have a wonderful week and many hugs Petra
All those gorgeous flowers...so pretty n pink Lisa, WOW! Love the crackle technique, beautiful project!
