Bloomin Heart Wedding Card

Hello, Crafters.

Yesterday
I had fun brayering the three “plain” patterns in the Irresistibly
Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

It started because I
decided to make a video for tomorrow showing how I decorated one of the
floral designs in this set, and how I added my own decoration before
actually using it as a background.

I
combined my playtime with using more of my pre-die cut shapes in
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, which is something I’ve been trying to
do over the last couple of weeks. 

For today’s card I chose a pre cut
Bloomin Heart to create a wedding card.

When
I was brayering the various designs, using various ink colours, the
pleasure was equal which ever combination I used. 

I didn’t finish up
with a favourite because I feel they all have their own individual merits.

The
challenge was deciding how to use the background to its best advantage. 
 
I
found the plain patterns fractionally more versatile because the design
didn’t distract too much if it could be seen through the die cuts. 

Having said that I did find it better to put a sheet of vellum behind
the die cut. 

I didn’t do this on the 60 diamond design card and I think
it would have looked better if I had. 

I did put a layer of vellum behind
the die cut heart and that was it definitely a great improvement.

To
cut the heart-shaped vellum, I drew round the largest normal shaped
heart in the Sweet & Sassy Heart Dies with a pencil and then cut around it. 

The
Mr & Mrs sentiment is from the That’s the Tag Stamp Set, and has
been heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. 

I tied the ribbon around
the top two layers of the card and then mounted it onto a Mint Macaroon
Cardstock (CS) base. 

I
adhered a sheet of Whisper White CS inside the card and decorated it
with a small flower in the bottom right hand corner.

I used Mint
Macaroon Ink and the flowery stamp that’s in the That’s the Tag Stamp
Set.

That’s it for today. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
