Nautical Re-do...

So I finally finished the redo of my last order from a client. Initially, I had started out making this order to suit my clients request for wall letters of her grandson's name to match his nursery shown below.

I was given only the direction that she wanted a nautical theme, but I guess my first attemp didn't quite hit the mark, so I offered to rework the piece. She wanted to have more navy blues and reds on the letters and she wanted it to have more of the classic nautical look.

Using Stapin Up! designer papers in the "Nautical Expedition" theme, I gave the piece a more nostalgic look, staying true to what she wanted for her grandson's nursery.

I struggled with this latest piece, but I think it came out nicely when it was all said and done. It's interesting how just a bit of reworking and details can change the look of an order.
