Lettering?

Hello and I wish you a very happy Saturday, Welcome!!
I'm happy to be at this end of the week because the beginning was horrid for me:{ I've had a bout of food poisoning and I'm so glad I'm all better now but I've missed a lot of my favourite challenges and visiting my favourite crafty people,  I hope that you are all bright eyed and bushy tailed today?

Lettering, mmmm I've often looked at the big lettering around and always thought that would be fun to have my initials up in my crafty space. People don't need to know that it's my space LOL I just liked the idea! So when this opportunity came up at the Craft Barn blog I was really pleased and I have to say I had great fun altering my initials




 I have decorated mine with Fresco chalk paint and Tim Holtz Stamps, below you can see them sitting on a window sill in my crafty place. I'm quite pleased how well they sit with the blind :0) I could also hang them on the wall if I need the window sill for something else as some of the walls are white :0)
Thanks for stopping to have look ! Gay xxx

 I used,
Letters G and P
Claudine Hellmuths Gesso
Fresco Chalk paints, Black dress and Snowflake
Tim Holtz Stamps Purely Random, Rockstar and Going Somewhere

Oh Gay, I thought you'd been awful quiet, hope you are soon back to full health! Your letters are fab, at first I didn't realise it was stamping, thought it was decoupage, very neatly done! And finally - you have a 'clean' windowsill, omg, think I've got some tidying to do! xx

FANTASTIC alteration Gay. I like the way you've left some blank and only gone fancy in parts.
