To a Very Special Husband

I made this card for Steve as it's our wedding anniversary today.  I used more hearts from the John Next Door die set I won last year.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     John Next Door 'Honesty Heart' dies  
     Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Snippets of white linen card, red pearlescent card and red mirri card (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of my snippets)

I trimmed a snippet of white linen card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the stitched heart just above the centre before placing the panel into my MISTI.  I laid the two sentiment stamps onto the panel ensuring they were straight before stamping them with red ink and embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I placed the panel onto a slightly large square of red pearlescent card and placed the stitched heart between the two layers so I could see where to die cut the stitched heart on the backing panel - this was to ensure that the two layers that were to be inlaid would be flat on the front of the card.  I removed the white panel and die cut the stitched heart before layering the two panels and attaching them to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the stitched heart from red mirri and inlaid it into the front of the card, ensuring the edges were flat.  I die cut the fancy heart from red pearlescent card and inlaid in into the front of the card.

Honesty Heart

I've made this anniversary card with a heart die I won in a challenge last year and some lovely design papers I won a few weeks ago.  

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     John Next Door 'Honesty Heart' and Poppy Stamps 'Celebrate' dies
     AALL & Create 'Spectrum Splash' papers
     Snippets of white linen card and purple pearlescent card.

I trimmed the white linen card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the floral heart from the centre before layering it onto purple pearlescent card and attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the heart from the 'Spectrum Splash' paper and inlaid the pieces into the front of the card.  To finish I die cut the sentiment from another snippet of purple pearlescent card and attached it to the lower part of the heart.

I am entering the following challenges:
     A Cut Above - Anything Goes
     As You like It Challenge - Favourite Main Colour (my favourite colour is purple, closely followed by deep pink, these are my favourites both for crafting and my clothes!)
     Crafty Calendar Challenge - Love is in the Air
