Fragmented Anniversary

Hi everyone.  I am having another go at the fragmented card design that I did here, but using a square piece in the diamond shape position as the centre, and decided to use a piece of paper from a magazine quite a long time ago and I am not sure which one now, and also I used an embossing folder called Dotty Heart by Leonie Pujol.  I also cut a couple of hearts from a very old die set by Nellie Snellen call Multi Frame Hearts, and a stitched square from a set bought a long time ago from The Works.  


I cut a piece of white card to build up the fragmented piece onto and placed the white stitched square in the middle.  I then cut some 1/4" white strips and worked out the shapes of the pieces to be added (two from the pink patterned paper and two from the Dotty Hearts embossing folder cut from white card).  It was a lot simpler which is why I decided to give this one a try as the pieces have two straight edges and when stuck down only need trimming around the edges.  I placed the piece before adding the strips over the top and then I decided to die cut two of the scalloped hearts from the leftover piece of the Dotty Hearts and ink blended them in pink using Adirondack Pink Sherbet Ink, and then I added them over the central square.  I finished the card by adding a sentiment using Versafine Crimson Red with a layer of Satin Red over the top to brighten it a bit stamped in my stamp positioner of course, and then cut it into a fancy shape and added it over the hearts backed with a piece of foam for dimension.

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

This is so effective Pat, seen several designs using this technique but adding the embossing takes it a step further, beautifully done. Many thanks for sharing at Allsorts challenge.
