Purple Hearts Anniversary

Hi everybody.  I have an anniversary card today made with a Woodware set of stamps called Hearts Collection.  I saw this used over at Kathy K's Blog Purple Princess Diaries and I was instantly taken with the different styles of the hearts and so thank you Kathy for enabling me.  This is its first inking too.

 


I started by stamping and heat embossing the hearts using WOW Metallic Silver Embossing Powder on to a piece of purple inked card that I had, and then I fussy cut them out and added extra ink within the hearts using Wilted Violet Distress Ink and a waterbrush.  I then cut a mat for them using a square stitched die and added some script with a small Indigoblu stamp called French Script inked and then again heat embossed with the WOW Silver EP.  I then inked around the mat, my favourite thing to do at the moment, using the Wilted Violet and added it to my 6" square white card.  I finished by adding the Woodware sentiment stamped with Wilted Violet and heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

Thank you for visiting me today and I'll see you again soon.

The double heart is so pretty Pat and the silver embossing on your card shines beautifully x. I love the sentiment stamped in the wilted violet to match. Such a romantic and pretty card x.

What a beautiful and romantic anniversary card, Pat! Lavender/purple is my favorite color. Your inking around the square mat makes the two hearts look glowing. I can imagine the pretty shine of the silver embossing!

It was my pleasure, Pat, and may I say what a cracking job you have done with it too - terrific colour (but then, you knew I would love the colour). Thanks for linking to my own blog too

Happy Wednesday, sorry to be so late to the party but I think you might know why!
