So I cut some water colour paper into squares and then found an old Ikea catalogue and had fun looking for pages with interesting patterns to cut letters from. I traced the letters and then used my embroidery scissors to cut them out! (I'm sure all you paper experts are having a fit! Don't look too closely at my rough cutting!) I then glued the letters to the background and drew a light wash of grey around the edge using a fabric marking pen. I had great fun doing these and it was nice to work with a different medium.
