letters...

for the letters, i painted the sides of them cream. when they were dry, i turned them over and glued magnets on the back of them. i let them dry overnight.
i then glued them down on the back of the paper i had picked out for the letters. i cut them apart. i went back over them with an exacto knife. it is kind of hard to get in the letters that have a curl to them. so the exacto knife works good for small details. i used a nail file to sand down the edges i could not get with the knife.
i turned them over and used the ink to "dirty" them up. (just like i did around the frame).
