I'd been trying to find a big metal 'M' to go in Matt's 'man cave' for a while and found these cardboard marquee letters by Heidi Swapp... Started off as white cardboard, I painted it in a mix of grey Fresco Finish paints (Concrete, Slate, Elephant (now discontinued, sadly) mixed with white) and finished with a top coat of Metallic Glaze. The treadplate in the centre also started off as white cardboard which I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and painted in the same way.
In the absence of 'other' cats I have used these too, on a get well card for our vet. They just caught the right expression of our Lucy goosey! Love the M too!
ReplyDeleteI love your M. It turned out awesome! And your cats give me a smile. :-)
