This is my favorite heart die! I've used it to die cut from Neenah Solar White cardstock.
The background piece was smooshed into Lindy's Magical powders and
spritzed with water. When I die cut this piece, I left the little pieces intact
and taped them in place on the back.
I've popped it on top of a piece that's been embossed with paste
through a retired Memory Box stencil.
(I think this is my all time favorite stencil!)
A little heart die cut from a Poppy Stamps die has been dry embossed
with a little silver bow added on top.
There was just enough room under the stenciled embossing to
stamp the sentiment that's been heat embossed.
An anniversary card for my stash.

I simply love this beautiful card Bonnie! It's easy to see why the heart die is your favourite and the smooshed inserts are perfect. A gorgeous stencilled background too - what a shame (for me) that the darn thing has been retired!
ReplyDeleteAnother WOW card by you! I have this die and like it alot, too, but have always done it in red on white for Valentine's Day. So happy to get your idea of using it in a beautiful color for an anniversary... (duh...why didn't I think of that). Have a couple of milestone anniversaries of special people coming up so as usual, going to "borrow" an idea from you. Thank you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI can see why that heart is a favorite. So pretty!! Love the background in blues too. Lovely, lovely card Bonnie.
