There has been talk on the All Things Tim Yahoo Group (that Tim is Tim Holtz) about the made to look like printers block letters used in some workshops and I just had to give it a try. This is 3 layers of grungeboard... the letter on top and 2 layers for the block. I immediately went to my packages of Alpha grungeboard... found I didn't have any plain... totally forgot at that moment that there are letters in the mini pack and seasonal pack and nature pack... so I decided to go ahead and try it with the swirls. I think it came out very cool. All the layers are glued together, painted black, sanded, and then inked with Distress Ink... I used victorian velvet here. Now to decide on a project to include them in.....

Wanda,
These look GREAT! I am going to try it myself. I really like the swirls.
I like this idea and your letters look great.
I must try this tomorrow when I have scheduled time in my art room! Really neat!
Ok, I must have missed those messages, lol. Thanks for the description on how to do it, it looks fabulous! Would be great on a gift tag, :)!
oooooo fabulous Wanda!!
They look great with the swirls! Good thinkin'.
These are terrific, clever you. Annette x
I have SO got to try this! I really like the swirls - makes 'em even a bit more antique-ish.
I took Tim's class and when he showed how to make these blocks. I was instantly hooked. But don't waste your grudgenoard. Use cardboard or chipboard from the back of a paper tablet.
