Angel Wings Memorial Sign (Back Side Finish) | Soft Blended Background + Stencils and Transfers

Описание: In this follow-up to the Angel Wings sign, I'm finishing the back side of this “memorial” piece—something you can display to remember someone you love. The board is pre-stained in white, then layered with a soft blush-pink background and subtle shimmer before adding the beautiful quote:

“I can no longer see you with my eyes, but I will feel you in my heart forever.”

To complete the design, I'm applying two pink rose transfers and adorable lovebird transfers (from the Wings of Hope set) for a gentle, comforting finish. This piece can be used double-sided—one side for one loved one, and the other side for someone else, or simply turned for different seasons of remembrance.
