Swan-Hearts

This week's inspirational DT card for Dies R Us is for a beautiful couple who've finally got engaged (after 13 years together!)

Imagine That Love Swans

I created the 'moon background' paper by cutting out a Docrafts Xcut Nesting Circles and attached it to white cardstock with re-positional tape before blending with numerous Distress Inks. Once I'd created a level of colour I was happy with I spritzed it with water and Smooch prior to cutting with Spellbinders Label One and layering on a folded card cut wtih the Spellbinders Grand Label One.

      

I coloured the moon in with some acrylic pearl paint and this beautiful Imagine That 'Love Swans' stamp with Copics. I used some beautiful shimmer paper to cut the Memory Box Heart Flourish to add to the top, and used a couple of the inner heart off-cuts to add some interest to the bottom right corner of the card. I finished it off with some ribbon which I stamped with a simple 'Engaged' sentiment and framed it with some metal tags.

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Imagine That 'Love Swans'
Copics: Swans: B60  C1  C3  C5  C7  C9  YR14  YR18
             Flowers: BG11  BG13  RV11  RV32  RV17
Papers: Create Paper 'Love Notes' paper pack, Pink shimmer cardstock, cardstock.
Dies: Memory Box Heart Flourish, Docrafts Xcut Nesting Circles, Spellbinders Grand Label One, Spellbinders Label One
Other: Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Iced Spruce, Stormy Sky & Broken China), Acrylic Pearl Paint, Sea Kiss Smooch, ribbon, metal frame & brads.

Here is a photo showing the moon background paper I created with all of the shimmer & sparkle of the paint, sprits & shimmer paper.

A Fairy Visit!

I had a giggle when I saw the Snarky Stampers new challenge P is for Profanity. I had the perfect stamp to use (which I'd been waiting to play with) so jumped right in and attempted this CAS card (I'm hopeless with CAS!) I say attempted because it looks busy due to the designer papers instead of a solid colour, but I hope that it still passes the mark.
