Smooshy Heart


Would you believe I have a UFO box for holiday cards?

LOL, it seems I have one for everything.
And the contents keep growing no matter how many I use!

I even gave Jack some of the hearts and he got tired of gluing well before they were gone!

These have a home anyway.

The intricate die cut heart is from Serendipity and cut with my Big Shot.

The under heart is from a piece done with the smoosh technique.

I can't say for sure what colors I used but I think it was
Pink Pirouette and Rich Razzleberry with some Frost White Shimmer paint.

Edited to add I'm entering this in the 
It's my 3rd entry there.

I {heart} you
I used my manual Big Shot to die cut the heart and emboss the background.

Red + Pink
We can use either or both.

All we need to do here is use a snippet or snippets on a creation.
These hearts and the ribbon were snippets.

All You Need is Love
using at least 1 Serendipity stamp or die.

ANYTHING GOES


So glad you could stop by today.

Enjoy!

Ny UFO box is filling up fast too! Crazy that we can't seem to use all our stuff - and yet make more.
Glad you found this one though! So pretty and elegant looking.

Just one question.... it's probably obvious..... but what is a UFO box? xx

It's such a beautiful valentine, Bonnie. The die is great and the smooshed colors are so pretty.
I bet I could find some goodies to use from your UFO box...sounds as if Jack had a good time...at least, for a while. Ha

So "smooshy", LOVE it.

MaryH said...

Bonnie, I don't need to know about another die company!!!! That said, this is a gorgeous & so intricately beautiful card. I hope it was easy to cut, cause it looks just stunning over that lovely smoosh pink background. Of course the mesh embossing just adds so much more dimension & texture and let the heart take centerstage. Truly lovely. TFS & Hugs

this is a pretty cas card Bonnie-I like the smoosh technique behind the hear- the captcha took me 4 attempts before I could leave a comment

Andrea Ockey Parr said...

This is absolutely lovely! I really like how you created so much visual interest with the textures you created. I also like how you paired those fabulous swirls in the heart with the more linear background. The ribbon and pearls give it just the right touch of elegance. You did a beautiful job on this and I'm so glad you shared it with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!

Bonnie - love your card - especially the layering of the contrasting textures - the intricate heart over the simple one, the smooth ribbon in between the heart and the grid background. So much simple beauty! Thanks for joining us at Serendipity!
