I craft for the love of it and I love showing off my work. My greatest inspiration is my son whose imagination amazes me. He's the 'EC' in EC Design Studio. I hope I can inspire and encourage creativity in others. Thank you for visiting and comments are always appreciated.

Vinyl Wall Art

I'm trying very hard to get back into the swing of things.  To find the positive and come out of this a better person.  To help achieve this I've been doing some decor projects that I've been meaning to do for a while.  We're a Disney family.  My husband and I met while we were both working at the Magic Kingdom.  On our living room wall we have a set of four Disney World prints.  Each one represents one of the parks.  I added a quote from Walt Disney along the top: 'To all that come to this happy place: welcome.'  I thought it was very appropriate.  I want my home to be a happy place and I want people to feel welcome in it.  Looking at it reminds me to be happy.
I used white contact paper to cut out the phrase with SCAL.  The fonts used are inspiration, orange grove, and waltograph.  Once cut I colored the contact paper with alcohol inks before I weeded.  I didn't have any transfer tape so I tried blue painter's tape.  It worked but it was a massive pain to get the phrase to stick to the wall and not the tape.  Have to de-tack the tape even more than I did.  But after some patience I succeded.  I'm thinking about adding some mickey heads but we'll see.
