Hi everyone! I am back to tell you all about the Mistable Alphas. If you’ve seen any of my layouts, you must know that I have a love affair with alphabets. I tend to create super-long titles and love using them on my pages. One of the things I struggle with when I create my layouts is finding several alphas that match the colors of my photos or products.
In comes the Mistables Chipboard Alphabet. Now I can alter my alphas to match any color I want. The great thing about these alphabets is that they can be altered with many different mediums so you can use pretty much anything you have on hand. Here’s a few I tried with what I happened to have on my desk:
in this photo (from left to right) I’ve used liquid acrylic, pan pastels, watercolor pencils, copic markers, watercolors, and distress inks. You can also use normal markers, spray inks, oil pastels, watersoluble crayons. And each will have a slightly different look and texture.
Isn’t that awesome?
Here’s a layout I made using the same alphas. For this layout, I used two different distress inks to match the colors in my papers and my photos.
You can add more layers or just a light shade to change the value of the color on each letter. You can also rub the edges more so they are deeper and stand out more.
What’s even cooler is that you can mix colors on your letters too. You can see below that I added a bit of green to the blue letters in the word “father” to give it more depth and a more unified look.
The number of variations you can create with these letters is truly unlimited. I challenge you to push your imagination to its boundaries and try mixing colors, values, or even mediums. You will quickly become addicted to them like I have!
If you’ve experimented with your Mistables alphas, please share them with us in the Live Pink Gallery, I would love to see them!
