Good morning! I'm back today with a fun card using LOTS of new items from the Heart to Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! This card mixed together some techniques I haven't tried before, and the result is definitely out of my normal card type, but I'm very happy with how it turned out! Very layered and textures, and I love the color scheme!
I started off by embossing the new Heart Wreath embossing folder on some Concord and 9th cardstock. I then used the reverse or debossed side of that panel, and swiped a white pigment ink pad across the surface. It left a fun texture on the flat areas, and left the debossed areas darker with the color of the cardstock! To add some more texture, I used the text stamp image from Heart Suite with Salmon ink to stamp in a few areas over the top. LOVE that extra touch! Next, I stamped and white heat embossed the floral image from the new Loving You Bouquet on vellum, and die cut with the coordinating dies, then trimmed that image in half (always scary, but worth it, I promise!). I die cut a couple of the Basic Hearts from white cardstock, then stamped that same text on part of the smaller one but in Shell ink, and blended a bit of the Shell and Salmon inks around the outer edges of each heart. I also stamped and die cut the larger sentiment from Heart Suite, and added a secondary sentiment from EZ Strips Reverse Love sentiment strips. A few Ballet Slipper embellishments finish this card off! Here are several more photos showing off all the fun details:
