Hi everyone!
Spellbinders just released the new Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken and I have fallen in love with this Primrose Heart Façade die set! I think it’s the simplicity of the blooms that draws me – nothing to ruffly or with too many layers – just simple petals that look a little like tiny hearts in a circle.
For my card today, I decided to play off of those hearts and create an Anniversary card. I went with dark red flowers (another nod to the hearts) but took a bit of artistic license by making the centers white instead of the typical yellow you see with red primrose.
For the background, I used the Striped Slimline Embossing folder and cut it down so it was just a bit smaller than my A2 card size.
I heat embossed the sentiment in white on Tim Holtz Matte Black Alcohol Ink Cardstock. I love using this card stock for sentiments because it is such a deep, true black. You do have to be careful while heat embossing so as not to melt it since it is actually designed for alcohol ink and is not a true card stock) – but I think it is worth the extra care to get such great results.
I just love the rich red blooms on this card!
Hope you have a wonderfully creative day!
Beautiful as always. And I agree about enjoying the simple flowers. It is so fun following someone I know.
Thank you! I am so glad I met you! It’s wonderful having crafty friends. Just wish we lived closer so we could craft together!
