Heartspeak Tent Topper
This week’s sketch challenge on SCS is Michelle Wooderson’s tent topper card!! I have loved this since the first moment Mish made it, and I thought today would be a great time to try it!!
I used a lot of SU! on this…porcelain prints DP, heartspeak stamp set, soft sky & blue bayou cardstock, and some of the new sorbet ribbon. Other supplies are: Spellbinders Nestabilities oval scalloped die, and the companion nesting basic oval. (both shapes were also embossed), thumbtack brads, white detail EP, dimensionals, stickles, and of course my beloved Copic markers and airbrush system.
Here’s the Copic colors that I used for this card:
The image was stamped on PaperTrey white cardstock using Brilliance black ink, then run through the Spellbinders Wizard to cut and emboss the oval. I colored it with the above Copic markers, using light and medium colors for shading. More depth was achieved by combining the 2 warm gray colors for shading under and around the basket. Then, I used the airbrush system to add some yellow and gray around the image. This was then mounted to a cut and embossed Spellbinders scalloped oval in soft sky.
I really love this Heartspeak set, and I love how it fits so perfectly in the Nestability dies!!
Hope you have a great day today! Thanks for stopping by! ~HUGS!~ 
What a beautiful card! Very nice!
Where to start…. This is absolutely stunning! Your image is perfect! This is truly one of my favorite cards ever. Thanks for inspiring me to continue to strive for excellence!
Ooooh! Fabulous!
Wow, love it, the paper and the coloring, this is a great card.
How darling is this! Love the stamp and coloring! Soooo pretty!
What a beauty!!! This challenge was the first time I made one of Michelle’s design’s, too. I have this DP - don’t you just love it???
Wowza~ Your colored image is truly a work of art! The whole card is lovely!
Gorgeous card. Love the coloring and the oval topper!
How gorgeous Trudee! Absolutely love everything about this!!!
So beautiful!! Love the way all these elements work together!!
this is stunning!
Just gorgeous. I love the colors you used…and your coloring on the image so pretty!
silly question…how would you send this card? What envelope size would it fit into?
beautiful card
Wow this is absolutely gorgeous! Just love it all.
Trying to edit my post, but not sure it worked. Sorry if this just makes a new one. I needed to tell you how much I love seeing your creations and thank you for the endless inspiration.
Gorgeous, gorgeous!!
Hi Trudee! Love your card but I actually have a ? about the Spellbinder dies. Is it possible to cut only or does it automatically dry emboss? I love the new dies but I think I would like them better if they didn’t always emboss. Thanks in advance for the info!

Trudee - Your coloring is spectacular, as always! This is just gorgeous.
I would also like to know more about the Spellbinders dies, and the Wizard. I see that the sets of dies ar $80. How much is the Wizard? Gosh, it seems like alot of money, if you “need” several shapes.
Thank you!
Trudee - I think I found my answer as I spent more time on the Spellbinders site. The Wizard is $130…Good Grief, with only one set of the dies, that’s over $200 to make pretty shaped die cuts!! I’m sure it would be a fun toy to have, but how to justify it as a hobby crafter?
And do you and other bloggers get this stuff for free just to try it and provide feedback? That would be way cool!!
Thanks!
Really like the card, but most impressed with the way you lined up the Copics rather than listing each one.
beautimous!
Gorgeous card. I love the paper choice. Great job on the colouring.
Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! I ordered this set and now cannot wait to get it! What absolutely gorgeous work!! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful piece with us!
Wow, this is beautiful! Love everything about it! The colors are magical…love the embossing, too!
Trudee , this is absolutely stunning! Marvelous!!
Stunning card!! Thanks for sharing the copic colors–isn’t it cool that even the markers themselves are pretty to look at!!
Wow. gorgeous card. I too have a question about the spellbinder dies. Are they compatible with the Cuttlebug?
Beautiful card! Your coloring is amazing!
Oh my! Just so beautiful! I love all the different colors you used, and it just seems to go perfectly with that paper! Love the sparkles too!
So pretty, T! Those flowers look like they’re popping right off the paper!
Oh, this is so colorful and pretty! I guess I’ll have to take another look at Heartspeak. I need more pretty in my life!
I LOVE this, Trudee! It is GORGEOUS!
OMG…thud! You should put a warning on some of your uploads like “may cause extreme heart palpitations, light headedness, etc.”. This is just gorgeous!
