Happy Write It Wednesday Y’all!

It’s Officially Fall Y’all!! So we’ve made it to Wednesday and man has it been a busy week for me already. Monday and Tuesday was quite busy for me since I’m taking care of all the animals in the house and running any errands needed. Hopefully I’ll be able to stay ahead with these posts ? Anywho, today I wanted to show you a few more ways I like to “decorate” my lettering. So, here are  “a few more ways to decorate.”

A Few More Ways to Decorate

Half Polka Dots:

Like I said before in my previous post about a few ways to decorate, my favorite of all is polka dots as it is very relaxing to me. So I thought I would share another way to decorate your lettering with polka dots. Instead of polka dotting the whole word, just polka dot half of it.

Here, I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pen number 755 to write out the word and then number 636 for my polka dots. Personally, I think not only does it give the word a totally new look, it also hides any ‘flaws’ there may be within the word.

Colorful:

When you want to show off more than one color but not do the blending technique, just write each letter in it’s own color. Though I don’t use it often, I like the look of it and it also lets me see where I need to work on my strokes at various times so it’s definitely a good practicing technique.

For this demonstration, I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pen numbers in the order of 755, 606, 346, 443, 555, 925, and 665.

Dots and Lines:

To make some of my embellishments to ‘pop’ out on a page when scrapbooking I like to use this technique. It really adds something to the embellishments as well as the page itself.

Here I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pen number 055 to write out the word. Then I used my Tombow Fudenosuke Hard-Tip Pen to add the dots and lines. As I have mentioned before, Tombow’s Fudenosuke Hard-Tip Pen is in my top favorite to use.

Flower Wreath:

Last but not least, wreaths are starting to become one of my favorite ways to ‘decorate.’ Though I haven’t gotten the whole leaves and everything else down yet, I love making my flowers with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens.

To make the flowers, I use the side with the brush part of the pen by placing it down where I want the first petal. Then I do it again on the opposite side. After that I add another ‘petal’ on one side in the middle of the first two. And then the same to the other side. Once the first four ‘petals’ are finished, I add four more in the middle of each one where I have a total of eight ‘petals.’

For these flowers on my wreath today, I used my Tombow Dual Brush Pen numbers 845 and 565. Then I used number 555 for the word. So I was sure not to mess up my wreath, I wrote the word out as you can see on a separate sheet of paper. I then used my Photoshop Elements program to ‘erase’ around the word and then used my flowers as the background and placed my word on top in the “expert” portion of the program.
