Double D - Hearts

 

 Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

 

Here's today's theme:

 

HEARTS

 

and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .

 

 

 

 

 Oh my goodness ... when I saw Diane's inspiration board, I knew exactly what stamp I'd be reaching for to use on today's card.  I've had this stamp in my collection for years now and have only used it once or twice.  It was fun to play with it again!  And of course, with purple being my favorite color, I knew what color I wanted to use also!  With those two things in mind, it didn't take much to create this lovely card which I'm sure I will finish the inside for a wedding card.

 

I have used a VERY OLD die set for my focus heart ... at least 15 years old ... one of the many die sets we all started out with ... Spellbinder Scallop Hearts.   I die cut the  heart size I wanted to use from violet card stock then I stamped my Sweet Stamps 'Wedding Swans' image on white paper, colored it with Tombow markers and die cut it using the same die.  The only difference is, for the upper portion I fussy cut with scissors around my swans to make them stand out front & center.  

 

 

OLD OLD lavender pearls & crystal gems were used for some sparkle.  I've popped up the entire heart with dimensional tape. The background paper is from the Paper Rose 6x6 pack called 'Purple Haze'.  The lace is OLD and was from the JAMBO company ... lace roll tape (sticky backed).
