XOXO

 

IC1000 - Halmark & Pintrist - INSPIRATION

F4A780 - The Letter H - Heart and Hearts

MIX627 - Inspire Your Heart with Art (I am inspired by every Halmark love movie)

For my card, I was inspired by the layout of the hearts from the inspiration. I made another card recently using this same technique. It is a fun technique and a great way to use up a bunch of small hearts that I punch out of my scrap paper.

I learned this technique more than 5 years ago. The technique used die cuts but I again used scrap punched hearts. I layered them gluing 5 high. Next, I used my score tool to score the lines on white cardstock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Once the glue was dry, I used red acrylic paint for the first layer then I used watered down pink and ran it over the top of the hearts. Finally, while it was still damp, I used gold foil flakes.

The card was finished with The Ton die cut XOXO and the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

For my card, I used blue and white on the butterfly. I love blue and white cards. I also love using scraps and the hello die cut, and all the butterflies were cut out of scraps papers.

Everything was layered on this gorgeous paper which incorporates pink and purple that the dynamic duo love.

Love Bug

 

FS938 - This week's amazing, featured stamper is Mac aka mac4551. I have been a long-time stalker of her fantastic gallery. I found this INSPIRATION. I love the use of the beetle bug on that card and used it as my inspiration for my card. I used this fun Cherry Lynn Designs die cut cutting all the pieces and layering it. I then die cut a large heart stamped the sentiment and punched a few additional black hearts. I added a few pearls and popped a few items up on dimensionals.

Love Bug Challenges As You Like It - Gems or Pearls - I love both...hard to choose...so I put pearls on this card.

Pink Feather Dress

 

IC999 - Moreushop and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

The inspiration is called Princess Dress and I just had to make a princess dress card. I used my new die cut from Scrappy Boy Stamps and die cut this out of pink, cream and pink DP. As I was layering it I thought oh I have pink feathers. Well of course they were perfect for pairing with the pink DP. 

Once it was layered, I die cut the trim to cover where the feathers were added and finished with the pink pearls for the necklace.
