Hi! I'm sharing how I embellished a heart-shaped hook for my sweet puppy Peach for Clearsnap today. I used the NEW ColorBox Blends 2 and Paw Prints Ink. Peach was super excited to be included in this project. I love this decorative hook! It's perfect to hold a leash and collar.
Use a paintbrush to apply a base coat of Coconut Blends 2 to a wood hook. Designer Tip: The base coat will help cover the dark wood and ensure that any colors added in subsequent steps are vibrant. Dry the ink with a heat tool.
Brush on several colors of Blends 2 in a fun pattern. Designer Tip: Use the tip of a paintbrush handle to apply small dots of ink. Allowing the ink to sit and blend created a finish like fired pottery. Cover the wood with Clear Embossing Powder and apply heat to set.
Cut several pieces of white cardstock to fit inside the frame portion of the hook. Apply ColorBox Paw Prints Ink to your pet’s paw and gently press onto the cardstock. Pick a favorite paw print and glue it into the frame. This bight pink ink is just one of seven fun shades.
Cut a piece of acetate (or product packaging) to fit inside the frame to protect the print.
Glue letter beads that spell your pet’s name onto to the frame.
