glittered heart

Tuesday, February 1, 2011


It's a lovely bright day here and I had a little time today to do some crafting. So I made this card for a couple of challenges, the colors are for the CR84FN Color Challenge (CR84FN13) and this week at the City Crafter Challenge Blog the theme is 'All you need is Love' (use the word 'Love' or a heart). Here's the color palette, I did find it a little tricky, this is my second attempt!!



This card is actually as close to clean and simple as I can get! I stamped the entire background with Text-It from Waltzingmouse Stamps in True Red. The doily I covered in a fine red glitter (I'm still finding glitter on my desk and face!!)


The sentiment is from Sweethearts by Waltzingmouse Stamps and I stamped it onto a Spellbinders double ended tag. I added a couple of brown brads to the ends.


I've had this little vintage earring for ages, it was just the perfect touch of turquoise for my card. I don't use brown that much but I did have a little brown seam binding to make a bow!


The centre of the heart is another doily that I cut the centre out of. I did add a little turquoise Baker's twine behind the sentiment, I don't know if you can see that in the photo! I hope you're having a nice day!

Supplies:


Card/Paper: White card
Stamps: Sweethearts and Text-It from Waltzingmouse Stamps
Ink: Ink it Up True Red, Black Archival
Other: Heart shaped doily, ultra fine red glitter, glue pad, brown brads, foam pads, turquoise baker's twine, brown seam binding, vintage earring, silicone glue, Spellbinders double ended tags, die cutting machine.

    These are tough colors to bring together, but you did so beautifully. The stamped background looks great behind the glittered doily. You are braver than I for adding all that glitter since I know I would tire of finding red fairy dust around my house.
