altered letter rack




This is a beautiful letter rack that is made by woodware and comes assembled. I painted in twice with 2 layers of irridescant silver paint (Anita's).  Ithen inked the edges with black Staz on, and stamped florishes from inkadinkadoo all over it. To finish I added some small round and flower gems, wherever I felt would add the most interest.
I am very pleased with the result- I hope you like it too!
get your tinsel out!

I thought those were rub ons - even more impressed having read you had stamped the florishes!

Beautiful project.
