I have been on a glass kick right along with my ornaments lately. Not sure what it is about glass but if I can find it and decorate it somehow I'm in.
So today I have a glass block to share that I made using one of the Alice in Wonderland files I found over at SVG Coop. Now I will say that there has been a time or two where the site doesn't seem to work properly but when it does she has some fun files to play around with.
When I first looked at this design I thought I would end up shooting myself given all the weeding, but I found that if get what I can and worry about the rest after application I'm okay. That said, after I placed the vinyl on the block I just sat on the porch and allowed the sunlight to guide me for weeding out the pieces that still needed to be removed. (Just another reason I love this time of year. LOL)
After everything was weeded I sprayed my block down with my Valspar frosted glass spray. Let it cure and then added my bow.
I really love the way that this block turned out, and the blue bow was the perfect touch for this silhouette. I admit I tried to find a Disney print bow to use but all I could find were the skinny ones. Now that I'm done, I'm glad I couldn't find the size I needed.
And now I'm off to enter my block into the following challenge:

Awesome glass block! The image is perfect and it does look like a lot of work! But I am sure you are glad you made this now! Thanks for playing along with us at DL.ART August Linky Challenge!
Another gorgeous creation, Barbara. Do you spray your frosted spray on the vinyl or do you mask it? Thanks in advance :-)
Hugs,
