How GORGEOUS is this card of Amy's?
The one she did for the release was equally gorgeous.
How hard can it be to duplicate...HARD!!!
I really struggled. I made multiple images. I tried every image I had that had that wide brushstroke look. I didn't find very many.
Most of the time it didn't look like I did anything. So if I went back, I totally messed it up.
I decided on the Wish from Good Times.
You can tell I "brushed" over the word. It is not as dramatic as Amy's but I LOVE the idea of it.
Do you think someone will think I free-hand drew that?
No, probably not....
I decided on 2 1/2 rows of dots from the long dot stamp.
I messed that up, so I went back in with the single dot stamp and fixed it as best I could.
I LOVE Amy's technique. It is cool to know if you have lettering like that, you can alter it and make it way cooler!
Thank you for looking at my blog!

I think you did a fabulous job with the faux brush lettering! Thanks for giving it a try!! I have to tell you when I was making the video, after I got that giant sentiment painted, I looked at it and thought it didn't really look all that different from where I began, and that's totally why I put that little before and after comparison in the video! I'll bet if you had a before picture, you'd see a big difference, too! Thanks again for playing along!
ReplyDeleteWow, Susan! I love your card! The lettering looks great to me. (Although I haven't tried to do this technique yet!). Nice to know that it will be harder than it looks. I won't feel so bad when I have a hard time. lol! Seriously, Your card is wonderful. The design & color combo are awesome! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteWell, it is a very pretty card. Anyone would be pleased to receive it. I know it will sell. Good job, Suze!
ReplyDeleteSusan,Your faux lettering came out great! I love the style of your card too! I felt the same way about my second try doing the faux lettering. I couldn't even tell I did anything. It's always fun trying something new though and in the end you've got a sweet card!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I CAN see the enhancements on your lettering, easily. You did a great job, Suze, and I love the design of this card. And the colours too. After I finished my stupid card and looked at other entries,, I realized that I did have a bigger sentiment I could have used - from Big Hugs. Duh.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!! definitely a difference and a beautiful one too!! Great card : ) Such a sweet design.
