Hi Bloggers.

I've had a request to post this card. I demoed it in one of the shows on Saturday. It was one of Martyn's favourites.

For the background, I used the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Vines of Passion inner die as a mask. I spritzed through it in each corner with the Mallow from the Cosmic Shimmer Summer Twist Acrylic Misting Inks Set. The ink will just wash off with water. I dried it with my heat tool. I then stamped the Beaded Swirl stamp with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I covered the whole background with a piece of Double-Sided Adhesive and covered it with Clear Glass Micro Beads.

I stamped the Zentangled Heart Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in with some mica powders from the Metallics Set and the Golden Winter Set, the Mallow Acrylic Misting Ink and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I cut it out using the smallest of the Grand Stately Circles Dies and inked through the die with Worn Lipstick using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the heart stamp again using the Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I coloured it in using the same set of colours as the heart. I cut it out using the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Ornamental Tags 2 and inked through the die with Worn Lipstick.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Self Adhesive Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Pink around the edges.

I have Pick of the Week shows at 2pm and 5pm today - hope you can join me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
