Today, we are featuring products from the new release called, “My Favorite”. Speaking of my favorite, THIS die from the release is my favorite. I used it to create this card…
Instead of die-cutting with it, I lightly inked it up with black ink and used THIS embossing mat in my die-cutting machine to create a faux letterpress look. I used the impression as a guide to trace the outer edge of the letters with THESE markers. I used a paintbrush and water to pull the color into the rest of the letter, creating a watercolor look…
I used THIS die to create the speech bubble and THIS die to create the black heart. For the background, I used THIS stencil and applied some of THIS embossing paste on top. After the hearts were dry, I colored random ones with the same markers.
