JFF - Whats your favourite colour?

This is my entry for this weeks Just For Fun

which is 'Whats your favourite colour' ?

Mine is purple but at the moment im loving this turqouise colour too

and they both go so well together.

I started out with a basic flat wooden frame , which was a

birthday gift and its been sitting waiting to be altered for a while

and I thought it was perfect for this project.

I took some card and made templates for the frame

A separate one for the width and length

Then shaped them around the frame to get the card template creased

I took some lengths of foil tape that i had in my drawer for ages

and cut out 4 pieces using the templates i had made.

2 from each one.

Next i used some odd chipboard letters to make the word PARIS

it didnt matter that they didnt match as they were going to be hidden.

I added the tape to the frame and used a childs rolling pin to smooth it out

as i dont have a brayer

When i got to the wording i used some kitchen towel and pressed

the adhesive foil tape around the letters to allow the shapes to

show through

I used 3 alcohol inks to just dab all around the edge of the frame

not forgetting to do the inner and outter edges also.

I kept my applicator in the same position so the

design repeated itself so that i didnt loose the colours.

When i had finished i rubbed the letters with a little blending solution to remove

the ink from the wording , I then used a soft cloth to buff that up.

Against the coloured background the wording shines beautifully.

I need to find a better 'PARIS' photo to go inside though, I have plenty

but for now i just popped in a snap i had on my desk and a couple of quotes

I love my frame and i think i may make some for gifts

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment its much appriciated ,

have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing.
