Hi Friends
I hope you are all having a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Mine was yesterday mostly a day ahead of you if you are not in Australia and NZ or China.
But before I lose track of my recipe for my wonderful husband's card I will share it today:
This is the Recipe:
I picked a red card stock (SU) white also (SU). Black card stock (GKD). Ribbon from my China stash. Spellbinders shapes, square and scallop. Gina K Designs Stamp set called Hopeful Hearts. Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red (SU) and Tim Holtz Distress ink Worn Lipstick, a sponge dabber, Cuttlebug paisley pattern, (SU) Impression Square Lattice, and stickles
I started with my white card stock measuring a little less than the card itself, ran it into the Cuttlebug machine and then used my sponge dabber into the real red ink pad and slowly in rolling motions outside the card working your way in, applied some ink to the embossed motifs giving more accent to those rather than the background. Added my ribbon then added the paisley to the card itself. Next step was to make the center piece standout from the rest. I stamped my GKD image with Black on white card stock, then used the other heart with a swirl in it to add on top of the one already stamped. The square stamped piece, I ran into the Cuttlebug machine with the (SU) Impression Square Lattice to create the effect you see. Added stickles to the edges of the square as well as the added heart that was already run through the Cuttlebug with the same pattern. I then matted my stamped image with GKD black stock cut a square with Spellbinders square and then used the same red card stock (SU) of my card Spellbinder square scallop, ran it through the Cuttlebug, adhered every layer as you see in the image and voila! Time for making it: 1 hour.
I hope you enjoyed, hubby sure did!
