Birthday heart.

 


Hi everyone, it;s time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Nancy has chosen hearts as the theme.


Of course anything birthday goes too, and if you need some inspiration, have a look at our party guest and the DT's wonderful cards!

I had stamped and fussycut a heart from a retired Stampin Up set Groovy Love, then decided it didn't go with the colours in the sentiment!

I turned the heart over and coloured it with oxide inks and embossed it with a tiny hearts folder,
I liked that better lol, although I think you can just see some of the heat embossed dots from the other side peeking through.
(It adds texture :)

The sentiment is also coloured with oxide inks and clear embossed for some shine.

Here's a closer look.


I'm linking up to these challenges:

I love your very CAS design Cathy and the blue heart with the embossed hearts (even the ones barely coming through) adds a wonderful texture to the heart! Your birthday die is fabulous with the colors and then heat embossed with clear...I am going to remember that because it really makes it pop!

Crushing over the various shades of blue on your card and the dotted heart was certainly 'meant to be'. Such a pretty card. Thrilled to be guest designing with you and the team for the next two months.
