Janet's Tutorial - PAINTED TITLE

Janet did a fun tutorial for you for your next layout creation. Let's see what this 'how-to' is all about. I think you are going to love it and want to share with us your creations...


PAINTED TITLE

Supplies Needed:
Cardstock
Alpha Stickers
Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush

Decide where you would like the title of your layout to go. When you've decided, you can put the stickers down like you would on any other layout. (I didn't add anything else to the page b/c I didn't know how much paint I wanted around the stickers)
Now that the stickers are in place, you can start painting. Paint directly over the stickers. You will be removing the stickers later so fill in areas around the alphas. This helps give you crisp letters in the paint after you remove the letters.

After the paint is completely dry you can start removing the letter stickers. The paint can make it a little hard to lift the stickers, so I used an exacto knife to get under the sticker and start pulling. You may or may not have that problem. Depends on the amount of paint you use. You now have a title in the paint!

Now that your paint is dry and you have your title, you can start adding all the other elements to your page. I started with the picture and then added all the embellishments.

I also added a bit more paint to the top of the layout to balance it out. It is a simple layout but I think the title gives it a fun feel!

Give this simple painted title a try! I would love to see your layout if you do!
