LUCKY FAUX EPOXY

I love LOVE me a good chunky font—especially in a die because you can make these awesome DIY chipboard/faux epoxy embellishments! And, whether you believe me or not, whenever I play with these types of dies, I start to groove to Big & Chunky . . .

Truth.

I digress . . .

I actually made several cards with DIY chipboard—this is probably my all-time favorite thing to do with word dies—the first of which is actually in a Hello, Monday video, linked HERE. The cards are slightly different, but the process is the same.

The expression beneath “lucky” was sloppily colored with random strokes of a few Copic Markers (colors listed in supplies).

This project and the one with the video currently showcased on the Ellen Hutson blog were all actually made back in November 2019; I noticed the Cotton Candy Pink Card Shoppe Card Stock I used in the above is no longer available in the Ellen Hutson shop, BUT, I listed another color which would also be pretty for this—Candy Hearts. Yes, it’s darker/deeper, but it does look quite pretty with the Pale Rose and bright Marshmallow Chick (yellow) colors! I actually debated back and forth when making the card which hues of pink to use and at the time, tossed a coin and went with Cotton Candy. But, I won’t hesitate to make another with Candy Hearts in the future. (wink)

Don’t have any Glossy White NUVO Drops? No worries—just swap in pre-made Enamel Dots (listed below in supplies).

Hope you’re all safe at home and staying healthy! And, maybe getting in a little crafty time to keep the cabin fever at bay. (mondo squishy hugs all around)
