Color Hues has three new design team members and Nancy has given us two gorgeous colors to play with for challenge #55! Welcome Julie, Marcia, and Stef - you all bring even more talent to an already wonderful team!
I adore pink and gold - in fact, I'd hoped for a chance to bring this paper into play - a sweet gift from my cousin: thanks Tracy!
I cut this beautiful feminine Anna Griffin paper with a large postage-edge die from Wplus9 and mounted it to my 5x7" card base. Then, using a wonderful new set of Spellbinders Essential Heart dies [more on those this Friday!] to create this pretty glassine layered heart. The sentiment is from a Waffle Flower Crafts combo called Hello Friend! For this card, I stamped it with clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Princess Gold.
Just in case you're curious about that little 'wax seal' - it's not wax at all! Just the tiniest heart from that same set cut from a matte gold paper [thanks, Hilary] and embossed with my first embossing folder from the Spellbinders' Embossing Folder of the Month!
I am so happy to be back in my studio - it was a very long break for me! I have to admit I was a little bit rusty! I'll get there eventually!
Thanks for stopping by - and happy New Year!
