Webshow Wednesday's...

are one of my favorite days. I always enjoy sharing new ideas for things you can do with the HOF3 products and tonight is no different. Don't forget to hop on and join us here at the regularly scheduled time.

I thought I would go ahead and share the project I made with the Alphabet that you are going to die when you see....I was literally hyperventilating when I saw it! What does that really say about me? Mainly because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I have a large table base on top of my dining room table (weird I know) but I love it and I change out the display for each season. Right now it is covered with pumpkins and candles and I knew I wanted a word to stand in front of it on my collection of flower frogs and this was the perfect solution.

For this project I used the printable version which can be found here (there is also a digital version) and then printed each letter at a different percentage. You can do this in your print settings; and since I know someone will ask I am going to list what percentages I used on each letter: B- 100% L- 80% E- 70% S- 60% S- 100% E- 70% D- 90%

I then embellished each letter to add to my table scape. I basically just pulled the colors directly from the pumpkins when choosing my glimmer mist and glam colors for my custom ribbon. The pomegranate and sugar maple look lovely together!

Here is a rundown of what I used:

Ornate Alpha Monogram Kit

Glimmer Mist - Sugar Maple, Pomegranate, Coffee Shop   Glam - Rustic

Stamps 

Distress Inks - Scattered Straw, Old Paper, Wild Honey, Frayed Burlap

Foam Blending Tool

Stickles Yellow

Regal Framed Fonts

Come and join us tonight to see all of the lovely Daily Gratitude collection.....I love it so much! Lots of Turq and Gray! ;)

Janet, just wondering where I might find the little holders that you have the letters in? Thanks. This project looks pretty simple and awesome.

[Missy]

That is my question, too Cilla; I think they are called pin frogs. If purchased on the internet, you have that pesky shipping to pay. I will try my local florist; otherwise, I am hoping you have a great tip for this, Janet.

[Lindy]

Janet - this is goregous. Missy and Cilla I was wondering the same thing, about the little holders.

[Linda]

Janet-I am interested in these ornate letters. Can I use them in InDesign or Illustrator? I would also like to know where to purchase the flower frogs.

Hi Janet -
When you apply the distressed ink to paper - is this the tool you use - Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Applicator Stamp Handle w/ felt pads? I'm not finding anything called a n ink blending tool??

[Missy]

Lori,
It really is the same tool - sometimes sold with the felt pads, sometimes sold with the foam pads. I usually buy the one with the felt pads at HL or Michaels, but then just interchange them the foam pads sold separately at those stores. They are just a "stack" of white foam pads backed with blue velcro. Here's a "Heidi" tip: On the base of the tool, is velcro. Use a staple gun to secure it better to the base, so that when you pull off the pads, it won't try to lift off as well. You can probably google her videos to see this.
