Scrapping4fun challenges- Tecniques

Over at Scrapping 4 fun challenges there is a technique challenge.
We are asked to explain our technique.

At the end of every month, I try to finish off the alphas from my Counterfeit Kit.
In this case, there were only about 4 letters left.
So I stuck the adhesive sheet on to cardstock and painted over it.
This acted as a mask, leaving an alphabet pattern behind.
The stick on letters stuck so I left them there.

Next, I used a tone of the same colour (green) and made words from a smaller alpha set.
I used these on my layout as well.

I've added other embellishments and there you have it.
