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

TMT video Tutorial. Stampin' Up's Gold and Silver Thread - The Tip You Need To Know!

Hello,
Today's Two minute Tuesday is actually a two minute video! I know! Not a 15 minute one like I have been doing ;-) Well, in fact it's actually less than two minutes and it's a little tip I figured out because while I adore the new Silver and Gold thread SU! introduced in the new catty (Page 159) it does drive me mad because don't you find that it unrolls all the time?
 Well, I have the easiest, cheapest solution for you in this weeks video, take a look!! Then let me know what you think ;-)


I hope you enjoyed that TMT video and remember I'll be back with another next Tuesday :-)

Thanks for stopping by today!
