For the Dazzling Diva Challenge today, I decided to create a Love and Roses Valentine Card with Craft Metal Hearts. I really like Tim Holtz’s Tissue Paper. There are so many beautiful elements in there. It takes all the work out of backgrounds.
- Base card is SU! Basic Black Card Stock cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ – Scored at 4-1/4″.
- The next layer is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock 4″ x 5-1/4″ with a piece of TH Tissue Paper taped over it.
- A piece of Very Vanilla Seam Binding is adhered to the front of the post card and adhered behind with Glue Dots. A double bow is tied using the “How to Tie a Double Bow using your Fingers” Technique (View Video HERE) and adhered to the Seam Binding with Glue Dots.
- A strip of 5/8″ Rose Ribbon Trim is adhered over a piece of Sticky Strip.
- A “Love” thinlit die was used to cut out a piece of AALD Scarlet Red Craft Metal. (TIP: Put a piece of Wax Paper between the die and the metal for easy release.) It was adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
- Two hearts were punched from Scarlet Red Craft Metal using the Sweetheart Heart Punch. The hearts were adhered to the post card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The postcard was adhered to the Black card front with SNAIL Adhesive.
The Cherry Cobbler Card Stock gives a great tint to the Tissue Paper. If you’d like to play along with the Challenge, the Inspirational Photo is below. Click here to subscribe to my mailing list.
