For my DT card this time I didn't have a clue where I was going with it, I just wanted to use some new dies from my stash. It just evolved as I went along. I used the Happy Little Stampers Wish You Were Here stamp set on this one...
I started by masking off a border around the edge of my card base and then spread some Nuvo Glimmer paste through a stencil to add some subtle interest to my background and left it to dry. I recently treated myself to the fab Tag Along die collection from Clearly Besotted so I wanted to play along with that set here. I cut the hearts die, also new to my stash, from black glitter cardstock and again from some card I'd blended with Distress Inks. So I then adhered the black outline part of the hearts die to the tag and inlaid the coloured inner heart pieces. I stamped the sentiment in black below this and then finished off by die cutting the bow from the same black glitter cardstock and the circle surround from the same piece of card I had ink blended. The tag was then popped up on 3D foam. I think the 'wish you were here' sentiment fits perfectly with a hearts theme.

Love the glitter in the background Neets, tried to get some of the paste but my local only had the drops, LOL! Means I will have to look elsewhere and possibly spend a little more as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at STAMPlorations too. :)

ReplyDeleteoooo, I love that glitter background. Very sparkly :) The colour of the hearts is just perfect and they pop right off the card! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Anita, I particularly like the fine lines of glitter paste behind the tag and wonderful hearts. Really highlights the whole thing.
