Tart of Hearts Anniversary

Published by trudee at 1:35 pm under Card Designs, Copic, Lockhart Stamp Co, Spellbinders

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! Today is their 51st Anniversary!

I decided to play along with Lindsey’s DTGD challenge to make my parent’s card. I hope they like it!

I love using pink & back together, but haven’t for quite some time. I love the contrast between the two colors, and the retro feel it has!

I used my Spellbinders RicRac Scalloped Pierceability die across the bottom, and then embossed across the top 2/3 of the card with my new Cuttlebug embossing folder. Before embossing, I rubbed my Ranger pitch black inkpad over it, then inserted the cardstock, and ran through my Wizard. It almost looks like fabric…very cool! Part of Lindsey’s challenge was to do faux stitching, too, so I faux stitched around a couple parts of the pierceabilty die. FUN!hearttartanniversarypinkblackcloseup.jpg

I colored the Lockhart tart of hearts with my Copic markers (R83, RV34, C3), then cut and embossed with the Labels 1 die. I accented it with a Sakura white souffle pen, as well as a Sakura black glaze pen. Naturally, I covered the hearts with Stickles for some yummy sparkle. ;)

To finish off the design, I added some ruffle-edged black May Arts ribbon, and some K&Co black bling.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a great afternoon!!

    Another beautiful creation. Your lucky parents obviously love it.
    I must try the ink pad/embossing folder trick - it looks awesome. To which side of the folder do you apply the ink? I’ve read various opinions.
    Thanks for the great inspiration,

    I have that question too, as well as another…is that Ranger pigment or die. I look the look of the entire. Those dies are a sure request for Christmas.
