Painting

Thanks to Gelli plates and Dina Wakely paints, I am tentatively dipping my paint brush towards other projects beyond cards.  Started with this easy one.  The words were already on this block.  All I had to do was add paint.  I had picked up some glittery paint and this seemed a good place to try it.  First thing I found out is that it needed a base layer of paint.  It was not opaque enough to just paint directly onto the bare wood.  Out came the basic acrylic paint in a similar color that went on first.  Once dried, then the glittery paint was added in two coats.   My handmade Christmas gift is ready!
