This is one of my favorite photos of my husband. I used this layout as a way to show him what a great Dad I think he is to our boys.
I also added a fun technique using the Chip Art Collection. Each time I use it I love it more.
For this letter D... I first used the Chip Art tools to stamp the image. Then I painted it with metallic blue paint. I love the shimmer it adds. I finally added just a dot of liquid adhesive to the center of each stamped image and sprinkled micro beans onto it. It has a great polka dot effect, not to mention lots of fun detail.
Leave a comment and on June 14th (Monday) I'll pick one winner.
These are the same letters that Mimi used
