Here is a mum I made for my Cousin Amanda. For those that are not familiar with what a mum, they are traditionally wore at high school homecoming games. So I guess in a way this version of the mum is to celebrate the home coming of a new baby. These mums are generally placed on the outside of the hospital room door.
I like to make them to coordinate with the theme of the nursery. Amanda and Michael chose a western them for little Kylee's room.
I singed the edges of the flowers to give more of a shabby chic rustic look.
After painting the letters pink, I stamped them with a wonderful rubber stamp I recently purchased in a brown ink. Brown was the third color of choice. I also tried with and silver which just didn't seem to pop. I really hope she likes it.
