Colorrific Letters with Aphra!

Hi everyone.  Aphra here with a quick tip for getting just the right color letters that you need.  For my October recipe card, I dug through my stash of letters looking for just the right color to coordinate with the Pebbles Walnut Grove papers and embellishments.  None of them were exactly the color that I wanted.  Soooo . . . I grabbed a marker and a couple of chalks and altered away.

You can do this same technique with your chipboard letters, too.  Just peel off the top layer of color and then paint or chalk them.  You can even add some Crystal Accents to give them a shiny finish.

Can't wait to see your altered letters!
