With all my heart . . . at the Crafty Gals Corner

It's time for another challenge with us at the

This week we are letting our creative juices flow with
Challenge #140 - Add A Heart/s

The sponsor for this challenge is:


Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

~~~*~~~*~~~
Today I have used the delightful Josephine digital stamp from our generous sponsor  The Paper Shelter to make an A5 top folding card.



I used a sketch that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago.
You can see it HERE on the Just For Fun Rubber Stamps Challenge Blog.

I printed the image on X-Press It Blending Card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I added a touch of clear Wink of Stella to Josephine's golden brooch then decided that the background "needed" something more, so I went around the white areas with the Wink of Stella glitter brush then added a touch of blue with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I cut all the layers and adhered them to the A5 card base.  I punched some dark blue hearts for the strips, layering them together for extra dimension.  They blended in to the background too much, so I punched some more hearts and coloured them with red Copic markers to match the feathers and flowers, giving them even more POP!

My punches have been getting a real workout lately.  I gathered together a bundle of Fiskars and Sullivans flower punches and punched lots of them in the blues and green of the card base then layered them together, topping each one off with a rhinestone.  Before adhering any of the flowers in place, I die cut the sentiment several times, layering four of the light blue together with a navy blue offset at the bottom.  Once the sentiment was secured, I placed the flowers around the bottom of the image panel and sentiment, popping some up with foam dots for even more dimension in the clusters.
