Hand Lettering #12: Personalized Birthday Magnet, Aquarius

Hello everyone!!! :o)

Today I want to share with you a hand lettered birthday magnet I made for my friend. :o)


Last year, during my personal challenge Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2017, I hand lettered various samples, this one also.

I cut 2" diameter circle base from a Canson XL Mixed Media Paper.

I stamped adorable Aquarius from Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' stamp set on circle base, hand lettered word Aquarius in block letter handwriting style and friend's birthdays with Roman numerals.

I did same with the Virgo, for my friend's boyfriend, but I have no idea where I put it. It's not in an unfinished projects pile.


So, my hand lettered Aquarius sample finished in the pile of unfinished projects for almost a year. As my friend's birthday was approaching, it was right time to color it. :o)

I colored the Aquarius in watercolor technique using Distress Inks and left it dry on air.


I cut a circle out of a magnet sheet and glued it on the back of the colored circle. I pressed everything with a 32 cm x 32 cm, 1 cm thick glass plate and left it pressed through the night.

As a finishing touch, I coated Aquarius's outfit with Clear Wink of Stella. :o)

Dimensions: d = 51 mm (d = 2")
