My finshed apron and a winner

Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. I have an Open House at Joann's today and I am hoping to sign up some students for my Scrapbook Design & You class. I was really excited to see a full page ad for classes in the recent issue of Scrapbooks Etc. I can't begin to tell you how much you will learn taking this class. You can go to the SDU website and search for a class near you.
I finally found time to work on the apron I showed you last week. Here's the before
pic.

I washed mine to make the fabric softer but it did wrinkle a bit. I tried to steam it and most of the wrinkles came out but not all. I'm not wearing it to a wedding or anything so I figured I'm good.

Here's the after with 2 colors of Glimmer Mist, some Webster's trim and Sparklers and of course Prima felt vines and flowers. It was easy to spray the mist and I used the techniques that Donna explains in her video here.

Here's a closer look

After I photographed it, I thought it still looked unfinished and in Donna's tutorial she uses a canvas word, laugh. I didn't have any so I used American CraftsThickers to spell out my quote. I glued the words dream and do on with fabric glue. I also covered the letters in glossy accents to seal the glitter and prevent tearing when I wear my apron.

Here's a closer look. My writing is a bit crooked but it makes my finished apron definitely look "artsy". I used a Sharpe marker to go over the penciled quote I wrote. This apron took me about an hour to make. Not bad and super fun. I hope you'll try one and come back and leave me a link to see it!

Now for the winner of the Birthday Bash prize....
