Great work! Love all the detail! love it! How did you make the switch plate cover and you didn’t make, where did you buy it?

Thanks! I did make it. It’s the front of a card we received when our son was born. It’s sandwiched between 2 pieces of plexiglas. I bought an 8×10 piece of lightweight plexi at Home Depot and used an x-acto to cut two pieces for the front and back of the card and the rectangular opening for the switch. I drilled holes for the 2 screws and the 4 little corner brads I used to hold the two pieces together. It wound up being no thicker than a standard switch plate cover so I put it up with the screws from the plain plate I was replacing.
