MAKE IT MONDAY #246: FAUX BRUSH LETTERING

PTI041816makeitmonday1-1

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and faux brush lettering.

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!
Susan

  1. 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!

  5. Susan,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!!

  6. Well, 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.

  9. Awesome design, Susan, and your brushed lettering looks great. This technique gives us one more way to look at our stamps and those we intend to buy. Lots of enabling goes on in this craft. 😀
