My sister’s birthday is this week and I wanted to make a little something for her. So I combined one of her favorite verses with a technique I had been wanting to adapt for crafting and here are the results!
I printed out the verse on cardstock and layered it in a 9”x9” frame. I then took out my caligraphy pen and ink and started going over some of the lines on the front of the glass. I really like how the brown ink matches and highlights the colors in the background paper. One would have thought I planned it :)
The hardest part of this project was deciding when to stop adding color. I wanted the ink to be seen, but not overpower the rest of the piece.
Supplies: CTMH Boom-Di-Ada papers and Barn Red ink, frame from IKEA and calligraphy supplies (see below picture.)
Hope you like this Libby and have a great birthday!
What an awesome gift! Thanks for sharing the techniques too.
