Once again sorry for the delay, I was travelling during the weekend and since then I've just been a bit lazy.
Today will be the last of the valentine cards the next post will likely be a birthday card as I have a few birthdays coming up.
Here is the card:
- Black, pink and white card
- Silver embossing powder and embossing ink
- Heart border punch
- Alphabet stamps and a heart on stems stamp
- Silver and pink gems
- Water colour pencils and a paint brush
- Silver gel pen
Directions:
- Make the card base from the black card. Punch the heart border along the bottom of the front of the card. Cut the pink card about 2cm thick and adhere on the inside of the card to show through the punched design. Cut the white card to fit on the front allowing room for a small border of black to show around the sides and top.
- Stamp the hearts on stems and spell out 'be mine' with the alphabet stamp. Cover in embossing powder and heat set. Using a purple and two different shades of pink water colour pencils, gently add colour to the white card slightly overlapping the colours. Using the paint brush and a small amount of water, brush over the pencil to create a smooth colour wash and to partially blend the colours together. Let it dry fully. Create a border with the silver gel pen and adhere several gems to appear to float away from the top of the hearts. Adhere the panel to the card base with dimensional foam.
It took a bit of time and effort for me to make this card but I am pleased with how it turned out. I love the pop of pink through the punched border and the gems floating away in the breeze.
Til next time
