From the Heart

Hi Bloggers.

This card was a demo from the shows on 21st -

For the background, I ran a piece of Burgundy Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Damask Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern (it doesn't line up exactly but you don't really notice).

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions From the Heart Stamp Set onto some Milk Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Blue Raspberry Aurora Embossing Powder from the Pinks & Purples Set. I cut it out using the new Spellbinders Locking Loops Card Creator Die Set and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut a mat out of Burgundy Card using Spellbinders Matting Basics B. I cut the largest of the Locking Loops dies out of Milk Card and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I stamped one of the large hearts from the Creative Expressions Hearts Entwined Stamp Set 5 times using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Blue Raspberry Aurora Powder. I cut them out with scissors and then inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany. I glued them all to a circle of card using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue overlapping them as shown to form a flower. I added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment to the centre.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Pearl Swirls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  17. Hi Julia, I like the richness of the card but for me the flower is too big although a clever technique in its construction. Regards Jackie D
