Lotstodo Week 35 - Words


This was very simple to make. I cut a few words with my Cricut machine, glued them to a thin canvas and covered the whole thing with a piece of sticky silver foil. Using my Ten Second Studio tools I etched around the words so they stood out. I used a patterened wheel to go around the outside edge, then using eggplant and wild plum alcohol inks I covered the whole canvas. I was going to remove the ink from the words, but I quite like how it's turned out. It does actually look better IRL but the foil makes it so shiny and hard to photograph.

Oh WOW I just love how those words pop after you've gone over them with your metal tools. Great effect with the inks too.

A beautiful piece of work Sam. Love the fonts you have used for the wording - must use my Cricut more (and get more cartridges). Thanks for the inspiration.

This is fabulous. I clicked on the photo to get a closer look and didn't realise there was so much texture. I love how the letters stand out.
