In the past, I never really made many cards. Lately, however, I've enjoyed the process of cardmaking very much. I honestly can never craft without my Helmar, especially Premium Craft Glue, and it is so perfect for my new affection for cards. I started this card by spraying the background with Color Shine Mist in Mint, and then layered over the top. I adore this Sweetheart Silk Card stamp from Pink Persimmon, and I knew it would be really pretty as the centerpiece.
I elevated the card (with a gradient of Clearsnap embossing powder blinging up the lower half) using 1/2" white Zap Dots. Zap Dots are the best for adding dimension....and they never move.
The Heidi Swapp heart was misted with Mist in "Mel's Diner" by Tattered Angels. I wrapped it with red and white baker's twine, and adhered it directly to the stamped card, using Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
To add some sparkle to the Jenni Bowlin alphas, I applied a very light layer of gemstone glue, using a Q-Tip, and then sprinkled on some Fairy Dust Glitter, from Donna Salazar for Clearsnap.
I made this a "get well" card, because I noticed I never seem to have one around the house, when I need one. I think that this card will be extra special, with the heart hugged by pretty ribbon and twine. I hope I don't have to give it away too soon, but I hope it will warm the heart of the recipient.
Thanks SO much for joining me today, and I send you lots of sparkle and blessings!
The gnomes and I would love it if you dropped by my blog today! ;)
