Impress Exclusive Fawn’d Friends, Snow Burst and Stitched Rectangle Trimmings
by Jean Okimoto

 

Fawn'd Friends – an Impress exclusive Memory Box die – takes center stage on a shimmery, sparkly card for the holidays.  Hello, Jean Okimoto here, with a simple Peerless Watercolor-ed card for you today. 

Here's a collection of supplies I posted earlier. Fawn'd Friends is perfectly sized and shaped for shaker cards, gift tags and placecards if you set a formal table for the holidays.  You'll love it for Christmas…and again for Valentines' Day.  View more Memory Box – and Poppystamps – dies at Impress online.

Cut the 3-¼" x 4-½"  Stitched Rectangle Trimming on the smoother side of watercolor paper – save the delicate outer "frame." Cut the 4" x 2-¾" Stitched Rectangle Trimming from the previously-cut rectangle.  Watercolor the center portion - in a loose, irregular block – with teal and aqua Peerless Watercollors. Paint a scrap of watercolor paper with the same Peerless shades to diecut color-matched Snow Burst snowflakes for accents.     Set the papers aside to dry.

Cut Fawn'd Friends from watercolor paper and trim it to about 3" x 2-¼".  Mask the adjacent areas with a Post-It note and daub Delicata Celestial Copper onto the deer.  Heat-set the ink.  

Diecut Snow Burst from the watercolored paper, green glitter cardstock and blue glittered cardstock.

Attach everything to an A-6 (4-⅝" x 6-¼") card of matching watercolor paper.   I cut slivers from a Scor-Tape sheet to attach the Fawn'd Friends and rectangle trimming.  Add tiny silver sequins.

I love how the Stitched Rectangle Trimming creates a delicate frame to highlight the winter scene.  It's a great set of 8 dies – each die cuts a rectangle and a frame.  They're also perfectly proportioned for layers and backgrounds on A-2 and A-6 cards.

 

   

Thanks for stopping by today – see you again on Thursday!
