Love is in the air

Even if you did not have a calender and had no idea of month it is, the crafting world is always full of clues! At the moment everyone is rushing out their valentine themed crafty stuff. This card I made a while ago for the Art By Mi Ran Facebook Challenge but did not get around to sharing it. As I have been busy getting wedding invitations made and not had much time to do anything else I thought I would use it now.

Materials used:SAM_2580(watermarked)
Art by Mi Ran digi stamp - freebie for Decembers progressive challenge
stepper card die
red card
centura pearl card
floral designer paper
small chipboard hearts
gold embossing powder
clear ultra thick embossing powder
acrylic greeting stamp
Copic pens
blending card
Versamark ink pad

Method:
Print out the image onto blending card at the required size and colour with the copics. Fussy cut the image out.

Use the die and the centura pearl card to make the card base. Die cut the narrow panels from the red card and the large front panel from the floral card.  Cut a panel from white card for the back of the card. Attach the panels to the card blank.

Shape the cut out image slightly and attach to front panel with 3d glue gel.

Cover the front of the chipboard hearts with versamark ink and emboss with gold embossing powder. Follow with 2 more layers of clear ultra thick embossing powder. Attach the hearts to the front of the card.

Stamp the greeting onto the front of the card with black ink.

The little chipboard hearts were the 'waste' from a Hunkydory Christmas Book I made a couple of years ago, I knew I'd eventually get around to using them!

Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

    Absolutely gorgeous. I really like how you used the hearts from your stash as embellishments. I have been on a use it up spree so I notice these things at the moment. Thanks for joining my fairy challenge at Little Red Wagon this week.
