I used ye olde cardboard! First I cut out the letters from a piece of cardboard and decided where to place them (http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o168/nasssty_slyth/Fabricpaint/?action=view¤t=IMGP0996.jpg)
Then I spread the paint on the flipside of the cutouts and used them like stamps (since the shirt was dark blue, I blockprinted a layer of opaque white as a base) (http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o168/nasssty_slyth/Fabricpaint/?action=view¤t=IMGP1000.jpg)
when the white layer was dry, I did the same with the blue paint (http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o168/nasssty_slyth/Fabricpaint/?action=view¤t=IMGP1001.jpg)
And then I added the pink "shading" and the other pharse. I think this method is way faster if you want to paint block letters or solid shapes on a tshirt (and you can do lots of them easily and quickly), and you're right, it is pretty messy but as you may have seen, getting paint on your hands makes you revert to a 4-years-old and I've never met a 4-years-old who doesn't have fun with paint :)
I've never read that particular pairing, so I'm quite curious. I'm going to read it tonight to forget about the not-so-cool date I had today ;)
