First
prime the sign
and an embossing foil
with white Acrylic paintand let it dry
Now draw the
outlines of your lettering with a pencil. In our example, we have used the "garden" lettering in the handlettering technique and traced it with moss green Acrylic paint . Handlettering is the beautiful art of writing. If you want to know more about Handlettering and our products, click here.
With a
black Marker we have added
accents to the lettering to make it even more effective. The milled lines on the sign have been emphasized with olive Acrylic paint
Cut from the
Motif straw silk the desired motifs and glue them with
Napkin varnish on the stamping foil. Allow to dry. Then emboss the motifs by tracing and emphasising
the contours on the back of the stamping foil with an embossing pen or similar. Now cut out the motifs and glue them to the wooden shield using hot glue.
If you want to hang the sign
outside , where it is also exposed to strong weather conditions, we recommend to hang the sign with
Clear varnish to treat.
