A bouquet

Having been mulling over several ideas for this challenge I eventually settled on this card design. For some reason I had never put away this particular stamp set from Spellbinders and it seemed perfect to use Barn Door red Distress Oxide ink for stamping as it stays wet long enough to clear heat emboss. I stamped the sentiment at the same time in black and clear heat set that also. Then it was just a matter of deciding what to use in the center and I chose this heart bouquet using an unbranded die. I cut twice so I had enough to group as you see, but before I added them I used a 2 different Sakura reds glitter pen on each heart. To get the arrangement to sit properly I adhered them to the sentiment piece and trimmed off the extra length of the stems before popping it up on foam tape. A few tiny red embellishments partly added to cover up 2 small ink booboos and it was done.

Although I would prefer to be crafting, I have to do a chore I detest and have procrastinated on for a few weeks so being in my craft room is unlikely for the rest of today. At least it is sunny outside which is nice after the wind we had yesterday.

Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated as are your comments when you leave them.
