Sneak Peek: Floral Hearts

It is a small set (3 x 4) with coordinating dies. I made two cards for different occasions to demonstrate how you could utilize this gem.

To begin with both of my cards, I stamped all images from Floral Hearts on a piece of 80lbs white card stock paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with my Copic markers. I die cut them with Floral Heart coordinating dies and set aside.

I ink blended background of A2 sized watercolor paper using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass and Picked Raspberry. Then I splattered water drops over the background and blotted excess water with a piece of paper towel to create some texture. A dreamy background is done!

I used the outer heart shaped die cut from the coordinating dies to cut the upper center open in order to create a window. I attached a piece of acetate paper underneath the window and  poured Valentine Confetti Mix to the background heart. In the end, I closed this shaker window using some foam strips and added already colored wreath on the top.

I stamped the sentiment “Have Courage. I believe in you!” using Versamark embossing ink and embossed with Metallic gold embossing powder. To bring the focus to the center, I added white frame cut to the card background using Scallop Frames Dies. I arranged a few Valentine Mix Jewels to finish this Not-So -Traditional Valentine’s card.

Now here comes a very traditional heart to heart Valentine’s Card. I ink blended background of A2 sized watercolor paper using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Worn Lipstick and Mustard Seed. I Again splattered water drops over the background and blotted excess water with a piece of paper towel to create some texture. As you could see, this technique comes in very handy.

I assembled some colored and cut images on the top of prepped background using Multi Medium Matte and Foam tapes. In order to have my sentiment piece to pop, I inked the inner piece of heart with Worn Lipstick oxide ink. I stamped one of small sentiment that comes with the Floral Heart Stamp set onto a piece of black card stock using Versamark embossing ink and embossed with White embossing powder. I hand cut the sentiment with scissors into a rectangle strip and attached it to the center of heart with Foam tape.At last, I embellished the card using my all time favorite 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins and Jewels in Valentine Mix.
