Ombre Heart Embossed Anniversary

Hi all.  I have an anniversary card today using an embossing folder by Leonie Pujol called Dotty Heart, and a Spellbinders Nestibilities die set called Labels 32 which is extremely old but which I haven't used very much so thought it was time to get it out for a bit of playtime.


I started by putting a snippet of white card through the Dotty Heart EF and then blended Distress Inks over it in tones of purple and blue making sure to blend them well, with a mixture of Wilted Violet and darkened a bit with Dusty Concord, and above some Salty Ocean made a little cooler, as it is a rather bright blue, with Broken China.   I then cut two large and one much smaller Labels 32 pieces using some more snippets of white card, and cut the larger sized aperture out of the inked heart layer.  I then popped two of the white die cuts within the aperture and added the heart layer on top so it has some dimension, and then I finished by adding a sentiment onto the smaller die using Dusty Concord DI heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.   

Thank you for coming to visit my blog today and I'll see you again soon.

Beautiful colours and great blending on this card. I have quite a few VERY OLD Spellbinders labels dies which I have to admit haven't been used for a while.

Lovely inking of your embossed background. Congrats on using an older die. Very pretty card in that colour way.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate later. x
