Daisy Chain Designs DT Blog Challenge for February 2018 - Add a Heart Project 1

My card for Februarys Blog Challenge which is " Add a heart "

To make this card I used:-

• White linen card
• Hunkydory silver rainbow mirri board
• Hobby House pastel pink pearlescent card
• Hobby House raspberry pearlescent card
• Hobby House pearl strings
• Hobby House gems
• The Dreamees - A Charming Cascade stamp set
• pink organza ribbon
• X-cut nesting heart die set
• X-cut mini tag dies
• script embossing folder
• Wow silver superfine embossing powder

Hobby House pearlescent card has a rich colour and is fabulous quality. It doesn't crack when scored or embossed. I found this embossing folder in the sale in my little craft shop. Looks fabulous embossed onto the cardstock.

Next, I used my Stamping Up - I Love Lace background stamp to heat emboss with bright white fine Wow embossing powder onto the pastel pink pearlescent card. Then I die cut the heart out of it.

I absolutely love this lace background stamp, it actually looks like fine lace when embossed and the beautiful pearlescent card still shows through.

For the flowers, I stamped and heat embossed The Dreamees - A Charming Cascade flower stamp onto their sensational flowers backing paper from the cd using silver metallic Wow embossing powder. I then pinched the centre of the petals before layering them up and adding a pearl in the centre.

I layered up the linen cardstock with Hobby House pastel pink pearlescent card,  mirri board and then raspberry embossed pearlescent card.

I used Pinflair glue gel to stick the lace heart onto the card to give it dimension and then its just a case of placing all the other elements onto the card. I also used the glue gel for the flowers. Its a great adhesive for dimension and keeping elements in place. I dries clear with a rubbery finish. The embellishments are from the Hobby House Peach Raspberry Collection.

The main feature of this card being, of course, " add a heart ". My February birthday card for a friend.
