be still my ink smooshing hearts

Howdy peeps!

Popping in quickly today to share a make from a little bit ago - we were in the snow in northern Italy for a sun and snow-filled week before I headed off to spend two weeks with my Dad in cold and sometimes snowy Michigan - that made use of a fabulous die cut panel sent to me by the lovely, happy dancing Bev B. Neat and Tangled Wholehearted Cover plate
Cornish Heritage Farms Alphabet BG
Distress Inks
embossing powder

First off I stamped the die cut panel with the background stamp. Then I backed it with an ink-smooshed BG. Heat embossed the "HI" section of the BG stamp onto a black snipet and mounted the panels askew to a cardbase. Voila! Love that dimension and interest! I'm off to play at:
Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Texture
Die Cut Divas - Anything Goes
Papercraft Challenges - Bingo - I've got heat embossing, text and no PP Happy Little Stampers - Anything goes with Dies April Labels: all occasion, CHF, distress ink, hello, ink smooshing, Neat and Tangled Dotty Jo x said...

April 15, 2018 at 10:28 AM That's just so lovely. The text and the hint of colour behind it and the texture of the half due cut hearts make it a card you really do want to touch xxx
