Love Hearts

Morning, The project I am sharing with you today is actually using the waste from  one of my other projects, along with the Stamp Collection from Leonie Pujol launched On Hochanda. I had been looking at the waste from the Funky Heart ''Lovely Bubbles'' and that's when the idea struck me.


I glued four of the 'Lovely Bubbles' inside die cuts to give me a nice thick piece.


Then I triple embossed with clear UTEE before adding interest using some other embossing powders. Here I used Lilac Black Cosmic Shimmer from Creative Expressions, Brass, Gold and Copper from Sheena's Wow and lastly Aged Mahogany Distress Embossing Powder. While it was still molten, I stamped using the flowers stamp and the word 'Dream' both from Leonie's New Collection.

I cut my card base to 7'' Square, drew a 5 mm Deckled frame around my card and masked with Pebeo Drawing Gum. I stamped the narrow heart stamp onto my card and added a swirl stamp to act as a hanger. Then I took a sentiment strip, shaped it on my block and stamped it around the heart. I painted this with Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Watercolours from Creative Expressions, so it matched my embossed heart. 


I cut out a mask for the heart and sprayed with Colour Chemistry ink from Oak House Studios, I used French Lavender, which I mixed in a spritzer bottle with water.


I removed the drawing Gum and paper mask. Attached some two tone colour ribbon to the back of my embossed heart and secured with 3D Glue Gel. To finish off this piece I cut 'Love' from Satin Gold Cardstock and secured using Cosmic Shimmer glue. I then backed my project with purple Centura Pearl from the brights collection at Crafters Companion.
