Textured Letters.
No pics, just an idea.
Cut some letters/numbers with your die cutting equipment, then run them through a cuttlebug embossing folder. (or cut letters from an already embossed piece of card).
Lightly swipe an inkpad across the embossing to highlight the detail and then, if you choose, finish off with a coat of Diamond Glaze.
There you go - textured, decorated letters for your LO's or cards.

Re: Textured Letters.
Hmm...thanks Lorraine, You could also use the flat part of an emery board to 'rough up' the surface before or after inking.

Re: Textured Letters.
I did it on my Twinchies and really like the effect and will defo be doing it again. The DG hides the texture a bit, but they still look nice.
I used Swiss Dots and swiped them with black.

Re: Textured Letters.
hmm, well Ive got swiss dots but I havent got any alphabets that are big enough to have a pattern in them, if that makes sense. I mean ive only got Olivia and Script.

Re: Textured Letters.
It is a super technique and Maria, it DOES work well with Swiss Dots on Olivia - take my word for it! Thanks Lorraine, as always.

Re: Textured Letters.
thats a good one, like it. I always get stuck for stuff like this and then they all look boring.
