This is your first letter! I have decorated it with Acrylic Daubers. I painted it first with gesso, then added pool and aqua paints and allowed it to dry. I painted again with snow cap which I sanded and distressed when it was completely dry.
I painted some copier paper randomly with the same paints, punched out the flowers, scrunched them up, then fixed them together with a large gem brad.
The prize I'm offering first is
