I started with the Shortbread Shapes Snowflake embossing folder and die, using red velvet liner (sold on Amazon) paper. It is so soft and embosses beautifully! I also cut a white piece of cs on a fold to make my card base and glued the two together. Next came the Capsule Filigree Borders die in matte gold...it looks so elegant against the embossed red velvet!
Next I used the inner portion of the Shortbread Shapes Snowflake die and embossing folder on Bubble Gum pink cs and lightly ran my brown blender brush over the raised edges to give a bit of vintage look to it. From the same red velvet cs I cut the medium heart from the Nordic Hearts dies and again, the embossing on the die shows up so beautifully on the velvet cs. I layered the heart with the coordinating scalloped border die using the same matte gold cs I used on the filigree border.
For the flowers I used the Rosemal Reflections Details dies and also the Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Wax Flower dies and cut them both from white cardstock and then ink blended them with pink, red and green. I used quite a bit of foam tape on this card to add dimension, and then finished with a Regency Bow No. 1 die and the same matte gold cs and a banner sentiment using the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set embossed in gold on pink cs.
A pretty fancy card for me, but I had so much fun making it and will be giving it to my mom for Valentine's Day. I'm going to add this card to Darnell's NBUS #82 challenge since I used so many new (to me) products to make this card.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
