Hand Lettering #4: Motivation Quote Magnet, Computer Font as an Inspiration and CASEing

Hello everyone!!! :o)

I hope you're enjoying your week. The weather these days makes me very tired, but I manage to play my hand lettering challenge every day, at least for couple minutes. :o) Thank you for your wonderful support on this challenge and comments you leave me daily. I appreciate it a lot. ♥

Today I want to share with you another hand lettered magnet I made.

To make this one, I CASEd a card I made two years ago, Follow your dreams Card. I went with same design and layout, images and colors. Differences... layout shape, coloring medium, font.

How I made the magnet...

I cut a 3" x 3" base from a Canson XL Mixed Media Paper.

I hand lettered quotation in block letter handwriting style. I like a font I used on the card I CASEd, so I tried to hand letter similar font. I used dip pen nib and black drawing ink.

I stamped a tiny snail from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set on each side of the base and drew line path / frame line.

I prepared various hand lettered samples during my personal challenge Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2017 to color during a 7th 30 Day Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker. This one also. I hand lettered it on DAY 6 of my challenge and colored it on a DAY 5 of Kathy's challenge (the day before yesterday). :o)

I colored tiny snails in watercolor technique, using Distress Inks, and left it dry on air.

A friend gave me bunch of magnet sheets last year to make my own magnets. I cut a magnet square, a bit smaller than the colored sample and glued them together with universal UHU glue. I pressed the magnet with a 32 cm x 32 cm, 1 cm thick glass plate and left it pressed for an hour. When I glue together two different surfaces, like in this case, paper and magnet, I always press my projects.

As a finishing touch, I covered snails' houses with transparent varnish to create glossy accents and left them dry couple hours. :o)

Dimensions: 77 mm x 77 mm (3" x 3")
