Hi friends! I’m so excited to be participating in the This or That Hop on Instagram! Each week, we get to choose between two themes, and this week, it’s Chocolate or Sweets! Now, when you think about it, chocolate is sweet, and sweet is chocolate, so I’m going all-in on this delicious combo!
I’ve crafted a chocolatey, sweet masterpiece using @simonsaysstamp Sweet Truffles! The background features a gorgeous watercolor effect created with the stamping with a stencil technique in vibrant shades of red, bringing warmth and sweetness to the design.
To start, I stamped the sweet images and colored them with Copic Markers, then carefully fussy cut each one. For the background, I pulled out the Fluttering Hearts Stencil from Honey Bee Stamps and used the smaller heart design, as the set comes with two stencil options. My go-to stencil technique, Stamping with a Stencil, helped create a lovely watercolor effect.
I then used a stitched rectangle die to cut the first panel and layered it with another piece cut from the Nested Stitched Scallops Die from PhotoPlay. I assembled the panels with liquid adhesive, and added the images on foam tape for some dimension. To finish it off, I heat embossed the sentiment and adhered it with foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a sweet and crafty day!
