A Heart Shaped Card With Metallic Dew Drops

Materials Needed:

• Black cardstock
• White cardstock
• Heart-shaped die
• Altenew Radial circle cover dies
• Ink blending tools
• Ink in coordinating colors
• Altenew Plum Blossom dies set (or similar floral dies)
• Metallic dew drops
• Sentiment stamp or sticker
• Adhesive

Instructions:

1. Create the Card Base: Start by cutting a heart-shaped card base from black cardstock using a heart-shaped die. This will be the foundation of your card.
2. Prepare the Card Panels: Cut a slightly smaller heart from white cardstock to use as the card panel. Then, using radial circle cover dies, create another layer by cutting out a smaller heart shape within the white heart panel.
3. Ink Blending: Use ink blending tools to blend ink onto the circle patterned card panel. Choose colors that complement the flowers you’ll be adding later for a cohesive look.
4. Die Cut the Flowers and Leaves: Using the Altenew Plum Blossom die set (or your preferred floral dies), die cut several flowers and leaves from white cardstock.
5. Add Color: Use ink blending tools to add color to the flower petals and leaves. Blend gently to create a gradient effect and add depth to your blooms.
6. Attach Dew Drops: Adorn the center of each flower with metallic dew drops to add a touch of elegance and dimension.
7. Assemble the Card: Attach the ink-blended card panel onto the black heart-shaped card base using adhesive. Then, layer the smaller heart panel on top.
8. Arrange Flowers and Leaves: Arrange the die-cut flowers and leaves onto the card, positioning them in a pleasing arrangement. Experiment with different placements until you’re satisfied with the look.
9. Add Sentiment: Finish off your card by attaching a sentiment stamp or sticker on the card. Choose a heartfelt message that complements the theme of your card.
10. Final Touches: Take a moment to ensure everything is securely attached and aligned. Make any final adjustments to ensure your card looks polished and professional.
