The first step: print the letters on card stock, then paint with an airbrush.
Tissue paper and foam core for the background -
Lots of glue for texture, then paint, more glue, more paint
The letters on their background with sparkly trim and red paper lace edging -
The test photo; I like the background but it's not what I'm looking for - maybe I'll use it next spring. Fall is just around the corner, my favorite season, and time for pumpkins and black cats!
Remember that tidy studio? Here's the reality - I do clean up between projects.

I come from icandy, she so impresses me that I want to see her visitors, but she's got soooo many, and I have 3 blogs and facebook, but wow you have magic and gypsy 2 of my three favourite words (the other is stuff) I took one look and I got sizzles, so I'll visit more later, 'cause wow you're talented, and creative and a magic gypsy, well of course you're one of Icandy's visitor ;)
You don't know this, but I drop in every morning, to get a good dose of creativity flowing...works every time ;) I'm not clear on the paint with an hairbrush, if you know you get a chance to get into details about it, this not too-savvy craft person would be much obliged ;)

Oops - it should have read "THEN paint with an airbrush" - not "THE paint with an airbrush"; I changed it. I use a very old Paasche V airbrush, which doesn't look anything like a paint brush. It's about the size of a large pen and you hook it up to an air compressor - mine goes put, put, put but it should go ssssssssss - and you put paint in a cup attached to the side and press a lever to mix the paint and air. The mix is controled by the lever and that's how you create the gradations. The airbrush was popular in the 1940's - think pin-ups. Now-a-days people use Photoshop to do this, but I don't have Photoshop so I do it old school.
