My dear hubby is not a real sentimental guy, but I know when he really likes a card I make for him, because he takes it to work and puts it on his bulletin board. I hope this years card makes the board!
This card was made using the George and Basic Shapes and Gypsy Font cartridges and lots and lots of welding! I welded two hearts (from George cart) together to create the base of the card which I cut out of paper with a wood grain. I inked the edeges with Smooch Spritz Pearlized Spray (available from Lil' Lambs Boutique). This spray is so yummy with is subtle pearly shimmer ~ you just gotta give it a try!
The heart lace was created by using that same heart shape (from the George cartridge) as a base. I then layered and welded two small hearts together and welded them to the base, and each other, all the way around, turning each as I went. I cut it out of Doodlebug Sugarcoated white paper. A few stickeled hearts and a greeting and the front was done!
The greeting is the Gypsy font. I like welding smaller size cuts together because it makes it so much easier to put together after it is cut!
Get out!! That card is awesome. It better make the board. I love the heart edges. It really looks like delicate wood cutting. You rock!
