The new Blissful Heart Hot Foil Plate is a hardworking multi-tasker that’s also perfect for embossing the beautiful botanical design. It’s double-embossed here – pressure-embossed, then heat-embossed to highlight the delicate details. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a slimline Valentine design for you.
Cut the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with the largest Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out. Lightly spritz both sides of the heart 4 times – from about 12″ away. Let the paper absorb the water for about 30 seconds then place the smoother side of the heart onto the Blissful Heart Foil Plate and pressure-emboss it. Use the rubber embossing mat and plates required for your machine.
Place the embossed heart on a smooth, hard surface and use a brayer or the direct-to-paper technique to ink the entire design with picked raspberry Distress Oxides. Quickly heat-emboss it with Imagine’s Iridescent Embossing Powder for a sparkly, glittery, glossy look.
Use a blending brush or sponge dauber to ink the edges of the heart with picked raspberry. Sprinkle the embossing powder along the edges and heat-emboss it.
Cut the “love” portion of the Sending Love Daily Script from dark gray and bright pink cardstock – save the little pieces in the “ove.” Attach the greeting to the Blissful Heart with a liquid adhesive – I used the original Tacky Glue.
Cut bright pink cardstock with the 1-⅛” x 6-¼” Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die. Cut two strips of the silver 6×6 in the Delicate Pastel Mirror Pad with the smallest slim rectangle die.
Attach the diecuts to a card of Creme Woodgrain cardstock (3-⅝” x 8-½”) – use foamdots for the heart. Add the lightest Winter Fantasy Fairy Gemstones. Cut a slimline-sized rectangle of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Thanks for visiting – see you again on Sunday…
