Heart ......

Made a set of Artist Trading Cards for a monthly themed heart swap over on UK Stampers Forum .....

I made the backgrounds on white card cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches and with Distress Oxides in blue, amber and pink smooshed with water and allowed to dry.

I then die-cut the large and small hearts and again used pink Distress Oxide on these. On the large hearts I stamped with an AAll & Create background stamp with Versamark ink and heat embossed pink pearl embossing powder. I then wrapped each heart in dark pink craft wire and added a pale pink pearl cabochon.

I then used the same stamp and stamped in pink Distress Oxide onto the backgrounds, drying with the heat gun.

The backgrounds were then applied onto re-cycled card from packaging to add a bit of strength to the cards and they were edged with pink Versamagic chalk ink.

The sentiment was stamped in pink Archival ink on white card. The cards were then assembled by applying the large hearts on foam pads and the rest direct to the card.
