My husband's godfather passed away last December after an illness and a weak heart. Since he was special to us, I wanted to do something beyond flowers and came up with this project. I had seen lots of these sentiments on Facebook, so I found the file and saved it. I took a picture of Joe off of Facebook and had it printed at Costco. I fit it in the shadow box frame as the background. I cut the svg file using black vinyl and then adhered it to the front of the glass. I did move one of the birds to a different spot as to not block the face. It was an easy project , yet a sad time.
Please excuse the bad photography, but I took it right before it was wrapped and taken to the widow. I received thank yous from a few members of the family, I had hoped they liked it.
We are making 3D projects this week at

ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful gift and will touch her heart greatly. The picture is perfect and the vinyl on the shadow box is such a beautiful project.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Maureen! And this is what I wanted to do of my husband myself. I am sure the family was deeply touched by this gift my friend. Now I need to go and find that file! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteMaureen, this is just such a beautiful tribute. As my dear friend Brenda said, I know the family was deeply touched by this gift. It will be a long loving reminder of their loved one. Happy Friday, Maureen.
