Heart Happiness for an Inspire. Create. Challenges Sketch #17

Hello!
It's time for challenge #17  already at Inspire. Create Challenges and this fortnight it's a sketch, my favourite!

I decided to use the soon to be retiring Heart Happiness stamp set but, I've stamped it in the upcoming In Colour, Blueberry Bushel. A real combo of old and new! Let's see, shall we...

 These silver enamel shapes are also leaving us but don't they look cute on these slightly larger hearts?

 I thought the sentiment from Weather Together, heat embossed in silver, was just perfect with these hearts.

and I love how well the Blueberry Bushel works with Bermuda Bay, don't you?

But don't worry, you'll be able to purchase this Blueberry ink and card on the first of  June or if you can't wait you could always consider joining SU! for the first peek at the new catalogues and also you'll get hold of the new products, first! ;-)
I hope you enjoy your day and if you are making a card this week we'd love if you had a go at this challenge! For some more inspiration do head over to the challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT have made HERE
Right, I'm off out for the day as it's out wedding anniversary so we are having a day out together!
Back soon with more craftyness :-)

Heart Happiness meets Brusho in Navy and Gold

Hello and welcome to another challenge with Inspire. Create. and this week (#14) it's a sketch to work from! My favourite, in fact I actually made two cards for this challenge, (I'll share the other one here tomorrow ;-)) So, let's start with the sketch...

 Hopefully you can see the sketch in my card but I have taken it as an interpretation rather than too literally ;-)

 I started with watercolour paper and brusho adding water, powder, drying, then repeating with adding more water and powder then drying again until I was happy with the end result. Then when it was completely dry I used an embossing buddy (very important) before I stamped and heat embossed with the mini hearts from Heart Happiness.

 I layered three crumb cake die cut "love" before adding a gold foil one to the top, I think it looks almost molten... Underpinning with gold thread to tie in the gold.

 I tore the crumb cake card and embossed it with the scattered hearts folder (I just realised this folder is retired, so sorry) you could try the sequin or softly falling folder instead, sponge with matching ink and adhere so the blue inked area peeks out from behind.
TIP: Run the blue watercoloured pieces through a navy ink pad (or use a marker) before adhering so the white edges don't show.

So, I do hope you enjoyed today's card? I know the rest of the DT will have a whole heap of inspiration for you and there's also a surprise! Do hop over to the ICC blog to see, HERE
Thanks for looking today :-)
