Need another Valentine idea? Celebrate your love with the glittered Homespun Heart floating thru the Stitched Celebrate Circle Frame -both are great new designs from our January 2016 Collection. Jean Okimoto here with a bright, sparkly design to warm this winter weekend.
Cut a 2.8" Studio Circle Layer of watercolor paper. Paint it with some pink and peachy Peerless Watercolors. Using an acrylic stamp block as a palette, paint a light, diluted wash of Gold Peerless Transparent Metallics over the pinks and peaches. Dry it with a heat-tool and attach it to a side-folded A-2 card of textured white cardstock.
The Peerless Transparent Metallics are rich, concentrated inks in shades of gold, silver and copper. They add a soft, sheer glow to watercolored and painted backgrounds...and they come in the cutest bottles!
Attach adhesive label paper behind watercolor paper and cut Stitched Celebrate Circle Frame. The additional layer adds some dimension to the diecut without having to glue the layers together.
Cut Homespun Heart from bright pink glittered cardstock. Attach the big heart and the second heart from the right to the watercolored circle. Attach the frame to the card - over the Homespun Heart on the right side and under it on the left side. (Trust me, it's easier than it sounds here, it just takes a bit of coordination!) Attach the loose hearts. Leave the delicate swirls unattached.
Talked with Debbie and Gary of Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, GA last night. We're planning some Memory Box Spring Classes there in April - I'll post more info soon. Can't wait to see them - and all of my sweet Southern gal-friends there!
Thanks for stopping by...hope you love creating Valentines with the January 2016 Collection as much as I do! Be safe - and keep warm - this wintery weekend.
