    Just a Note | by Sandhya Iyer

    Hello, friends! This is Design Team member, Sandhya Iyer, and today I am sharing a monochrome floral card. For this project, I used the gorgeous Cheerful Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Just a Note hot foil plate and die set.

    I started by embossing a piece of watercolor cardstock using the the Cheerful Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I pulled out dye inks in shades of peachy corals and used a blending brush to gently ink up the raised portion of the embossed panel.

    Next, I ink cut out a rectangular frame from coral-colored cardstock. I inked around the edges to add more interest. Then, I adhered the frame over the embossed floral panel.

    Finally, I used the ‘just a note’ Hot Foil Plate and Die Set to create a glittery silver foiled sentiment die-cut. I inked around it in the same color and popped it over the floral panel with some foam tape. Then, I attached the panel to a white A2 card base and finished off with a few coordinating enamel dots.

    This brings us to the end of today’s post. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have fun crafting today!

    Hello, friends! This is Design Team member Sandhya Iyer here today and I am sharing a floral notecard. I used the Early Blossom Contour Layers die set to create my watercolored florals. The sentiment is a gorgeous scripted hot foil plate and die set called Just a Note.

    I started by die-cutting the flowers and leaves out of Canson XL watercolor paper. Next, I used Rockwell Magic mineral watercolors to color the die-cut layers.

    I assembled the layers to create my flowers and leaves. Then, I created an ink-smooshed background using Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks. Next, I used the foil plate to add the sentiment to a piece of Hammermill heavy cardstock and die-cut it out.

    Finally, I ink-blended using the same oxide ink combo on my card base and assembled the card. I also added gold splatters to add some glamour.

    This brings us to the end of today’s post. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have fun crafting today!

    Just a Note | By Sandhya Iyer

    Hello, friends! This is Design Team member Sandhya Iyer here today and I’m excited to share a card along the Valentine’s Day theme. I used the Banner Heart Layering die set to create my focal point and added leaves from the Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour Layers. The sentiment is a gorgeous hot foil plate and die set called Just a Note noted script.

    I started by die-cutting multiples of all 3 layers of the Banner Heart Die set out of Arteza watercolor paper. Next, I trimmed a watercolor panel using a deckled edge trimmer and watercolored my background. I let it dry and added pink and white gouache splatters.

    Then, I die cut the leaves and assembled the layers. I watercolored the leaves with pinks and also added the same ombre painting to a piece of watercolor paper. Next, I used the foil plate to add the sentiment to the watercolored watercolor paper. I die-cut the foiled sentiment and assembled the card panel with the heart, leaves and the sentiment.

    Finally, I added the panel to a watercolor card base to complete my card. This brings us to the end of today’s post. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have fun crafting today!
