Guest Spot -Allsorts Challenge

 I am thrilled to have been asked to do a Guest Spot for the

The theme is Hearts, I had this heart die in my subscription magazine a few months ago, I hadn't used it before, but it was the perfect occasion to use it. I cut it out of red textured card. 
 
I had cut 3 layers of 300gsm card with hearts along while ago, cut out on my Silhouette, and had glued them together, I used it to emboss a square of white card. This is the cut-out I embossed with. 

I cut a square red layer and layered the embossed hearts layer onto it. The die cut was attached to the embossed layer. Next I stamped a sentiment and layered it onto more of the red card, it was attached with 3D pads to the card. It's quite a deep emboss, but can't be seen on the main card.
 
heart die, magazine freebie - Tattered Lace
stencil design - Marisa Lerin DigitalScrabook.com
sentiment stamp, magazine freebie - Lou Collins
ink - Whispers, a very old ink

Very prettily done (for Saturdays challenge!!) Faith. You said it was a struggle but one would never know and striking use of contrast colours, thank you.

Brilliant creation of stencil and gorgeous card. I have some 12x12 scrapbook layout backgrounds that are cut out like that, KI Memories, I think. They are sitting in a file for when I ever think up how to cut and use on a card or hey, maybe I'll circle back to 12x12 scrapping by then, hahahaha. Hope y'all are doing well, xoxo

What a fabulous job you made of making a piece of card full of hearts, and with the shaped edge on your Silhouette, and with the three layers made some wonderfully deep embossing on the card Faith, and the red heart die and a lovely sentiment look beautiful over the top. x

Pat said...

What a great job you made of making your own layered die cut piece to use to emboss with and the effect looks great as a background to the pretty red die cut heart and sentiment Faith. x
