Watercolor a Pinpoint Rectangle Layer, add a light mist of gold spritz – then emboss it with Heart Board. Add a Cozy Mug, glittered hearts and a bit of love with the layered Love Jotted Script. Hi and happy weekend – Jean Okimoto here with a bright design to warm a cold winter day.
Press the Berry Blaze Kaleidacolor inkpad onto a large acrylic block. Paint watercolor paper with random, diluted layers of the vibrant inks. Air-dry it, then spritz it with water. Spritz it again with a light mist of Imagine Crafts Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Heat-set it – heat it from both sides to minimize curling.
Cut it with the 3-⅛" x 2-⅛" Pinpoint Rectangle Layer.
Pressure-emboss it with the new Heart Board – use the plates and mats recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Here's the sequence I used on my Platinum – platform, die face-up, watercolor paper face-down, tan rubber embossing mat, purple embossing plate.
Cut pink glittered cardstock with a large heart from Bright Hearts and one each of the hearts from the Heart Board.
Cut a Cozy Mug from printed paper. I used a bright contemporary leaf pattern from Shizen Design.
Cut Love Jotted Script from a double layer of white cardstock and a portion of a Peony Notecard.
Attach the diecuts to a 5-¼" square white card – use slivers of foam tape for the handle.
It's easy to overlook pressure-embossing with our stash of Memory Box dies. The dies – personally designed by Dave Brethauer and made in the USA – create beautiful textured backgrounds and accents. They're also great for simple cards – just emboss the front of the card, add a quick note and it's done!
Thanks for visiting – enjoy your weekend, see you again on Thursday…
