- 5" x 5" square white card blank - side opening
- trimmed a snippet of Tonic mirror 'Red Organza' card down to 4.5" x 4.5"
- trimmed a snippet of white card down to 4.25" x 4.25" and glued it to the front of the piece of 'Red Organza' card
- next embossed a snippet of Tonic pearlescent 'Luna Silver' card using a NBUS folder by Arriettycraft called 'Hearts'
- trimmed the hearts embossed card down to 3.5" x 3.5" then cut across it diagonally using a guillotine
- glued the triangles to the top left and bottom right corners of the white layer of card. The card design sort of evolved as I went along, otherwise I'd have glued the triangles to the white layer before backing it with the red (easier to line up) . However, a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice!
- then die cut the sentiment twice using another couple of snippets of the 'Red Organza' card and layered them together
- glued the sentiment onto the front panel and added five little hearts - die cut from teensy snippets using the same sentiment die, which is by Impression Obsession called 'Love'. I really like how the letter 'o' is depicted by a heart - another die that's on my long list of favourites!
- finally, the whole panel was adhered to the front of the card blank, using narrow foam strips - finished!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
