Ghost Letters

In our October kit we included one of my favorite things: Heidi Swapp Ghost letters. Some of you may be unfamiliar with them, so I thought that I'd share some tips on incorporating them into your projects.

Since they are clear, you have many options when it comes to coloring (or not coloring) them. You can using stamping ink as I did on this Happy Birthday card. I suggest a pigment based ink like a Stazon ink pad.



You can also use acrylic paint. You can paint just around the edges as I did on the September album cover.



You can paint the entire letter like I did on the Muddy fun layout. This gives your letters a new color while still having the glossy and shiney look.



You can also use alcohol inks to color them. You just squeeze a drop of the ink from the bottle and swirl it around on the letter. It is fun to mix colors too!

You can also use use the letters plain as I did in the next two layouts.





I'd love to hear about new ways that you have used these letters in your layouts!

I will share more soon about different ways to attach the letters to your page.
