Finished wooden letters for Autumns room.
I brought some scrapbook card stock from the Bo Bunny range that I enjoyed. I wanted a kind of distressed look about them, but to be bright.
I first painted the whole letter in a light purple paint.
I then cut out the shapes and glued them to the front of the letters. Once it was dry I trimmed the paper down and sanded the edges in to the wood to kind of blend it and give it a distressed look.
I then inked the edges with brown ink. I didn't just put the pad right on to the letter, I got a foundation sponge, dipped it in the ink and then on to the letter as it gave me more control over where the ink went. I also sanded down the backs and sides of the letters.
I then varnished them with a matt varnish. I was thinking about a gloss, but as I was going for a distressed look I thought it might make them look too “new” I was pondering a crackle glaze but didn't have any.
I then added the embellishments, buttons, stickles, hairy string, flowers and butterflies.
