Entwined Hearts

Hi all.  For this anniversary card I used a set of dies I was lucky enough to win called Entwined Hearts from Sue Wilson's Paper Cuts range for Creative Expressions, and being used here for the first time.  I also used some die cut flowers which were left over from my last card which came with a recent magazine and called Sentimental Ampersand.


I decided to use Peacock Feathers Distress Ink with a snippet of white card, and I blended some of it using a brush and then die cut the uneven outer edge die and used the frame die inside that which cuts into the card.  I then found another snippet of white card and cut the heart into it, again it does not have an edge, but I decided to cut it out, to give me the heart shape within the frame, and then the piece that came from the centre of this piece I ink blended again using the Peacock Feathers DI, and then I used another snippet of white to cut the central smaller heart, again it just cuts into the card, but I did the same with this and cut around it to be placed on top.  I used a 6" square card as the base card, but soon realised that the die cut was not quite square so cut it down so it would fit with just a small border.  I layered the pieces up as you can see and added the peach coloured flowers and a few of the different sized leaves and two leaf sprigs, and finished with a fishtail banner sentiment stamped with the Peacock Feathers Ink and then embossed using WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder, and attached it below the flowers.

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