Instructions:

1.     Adhere your Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the bottom of your Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Seal, ensuring you leave a 1/8” border on three sides.

2.     Using one of the heart stamps, stamp a heart in the centre of the circle die cut using Blushing Bride Ink, first stamping onto a scrap piece of paper and then onto the circle. This will create a light image. Then, do the same with stamping parts of the heart around the sides of the circle.

3.     Using Real Red Ink, stamp the ‘UR CUTE’ sentiment overtop the centre heart.

4.     In the bottom right-hand corner of the scalloped rectangle, stamp the sentiment using Real Red Ink. Stamp the sentiment using the Masking Technique, which is when you place a piece of masking tape over the parts of the stamp you don’t wish to use. Just remember to remove the tape before you stamp!

5.     Wrap a piece of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the centre of the scalloped circle and adhere by tying a bow on the left hand side. Then, adhere the rectangle to your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

6.     Adhere your circle sentiment piece beside the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

7.     Embellish with 5 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish off the card.

·       Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper 3 ½” x ½” – various designs to mix and match

·       Fluid Watercolor Paper – 2 ½” x 2 ½”

 

Instructions:

 

1.     Score and fold Highland Heather card base.

2.     Add all three solid heart stamps to a clear block so you can stamp them all at once.  Stamp with Versamark Ink on the Fluid Watercolor paper.

3.     Add Heat and Stick Powder to the stamped images and melt it with the Heat Tool.  Once heated, add the Gold Leafing to the hearts.  Brush off any excess leafing and set aside.

4.     On the front of your Highland Heather card base, add three strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive at various angles approximately 3.5” each going towards the right side of the card. 

5.     Pull off the backing to the Tear & Tape Adhesive and add Gold Leafing.  Brush off any excess leafing.

6.     Adhere various strips of the Sweet Talk DSP over the strips of gold on your card front.

7.     On the watercolor paper, carefully add some water around the gold hearts using your Water Painter.  Pick up some of the Highland Heather ink and give the hearts a watercolor wash background.  Be careful not to get too much water in the gold areas.  Use a paper towel to soak up any excess water.  Set aside to dry.

8.     Using the die with the three hearts, cut out the hearts from the center of the Real Red cardstock using your die cutting machine. Once you have done that, adhere the watercolor paper to the front, hiding the area where you die cut the hearts.

9.     Adhere the Real Red/watercolor piece to the front of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

10. Stamp the greeting using Highland Heather ink on one of the extra strips of Sweet Talk DSP and trim. Adhere that to the front of the card.

11. Add Real Red hearts using the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

12. Add three Iridescent Rhinestones.

13. Tie your gold twine in a bow and adhere to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.
