: embellishing pretty letters for a scrapbook page




I love these letters by Pink Paislee!
Very elegant and with that French touch 
that the whole Parisian Anthology line has.

But they blended into my backbround
and I needed a little sparkle.
So first I coated each letter with
Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze
in Northern Lights.



 Glimmer Glaze is neat stuff because
it adds sparkle but lets the background
come through as well. It isn't opaque.



Then I outlined each letter in black with a 
Copic multiliner pen. 

And added a bit of moonlight Smooch here and there.


Both the Glimmer Glaze and Smooch have
brushes built in, which makes it nice if you
only need a little bit for your project.
No need to drag out brushes and palates
and jars of water and make a mess.



There you go :o) all done!

I leave you with a favorite quote:



Have a lovely mid week!
