This week at Just Magnolia our challenge is sponsored by Wild Orchid Crafts and so our challenge is "hearts and flowers". I decided to try to make a heart shaped easel card......what do you think? I started by making a woven heart as per the tutorial at StampARTic here, and then mounted it onto card. The papers are Papermania and I have stamped around the edges with New Year swirl from Magnolia using vintage photo distress ink. I have distressed the papers with this too and added stickles.
I have coloured Tilda with hearts using distress inks and added stickles to the lace on her dress and her wings.
The gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have sprayed them with pearl glimmer mist. A couple of pins from my stash and two leaves punched with McGill fern punch complete the flower spray. The sentiment is written with a gold gel pen onto the ribbon flourish from the Magnolia winter kit.
I stamped a heart from Stempelglede with fired brick distress ink (not sure on the colour, should have been a pinker red me thinks!) and then added little red hearts which are the "waste" product from MS heart lace punch. The pink pearls are from my stash.
The base of the easel is decorated with another woven heart and a simple band of white paper punched with MS doiley lace and heart lace punches and a double bow of red organza ribbon. You can just about see under the ribbon loops I have added tiny hearts of the striped paper(again the waste from heart lace punch) at intervals along the middle of my lace strip.
This is how the card looks when folded ready for posting!
Hope you like it and thanks for looking! Hope you can join us this week and do have a look at the rest of the DT's stunning creations on the challenge blog - you won't be disappointed! x
