To begin with I started by creating the background for the card to do that, I stamped with Blush Pink Ink the Painted Background Stamp on an A2 white card panel. Once, the card panel was stamped, I added a few gold splatters and I let it aside to dry.
In the meantime, I ran through the die-cut machine the Beautiful Blooms Dies to die-cut it out of white cardstock. Right after when I was done die-cutting the floral image from the die, I inked the entire die-cutting with my WOW! Embossing Ink Pad for a sticky surface because, I wanted the Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter to stick to it. So, after adding the glitter embossing, I heat set the image with my WOW! Heat Embossing Gun Tool until the powder was completely melted.
Soon after the heat embossing, I came back to the card panel which by then was already dry so, I ran the background along with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Die Set to create the stitched detail for the card panel. Then, I foam mounted the card panel to an A2 side folding white card base followed for the sparkly floral die-cutting which, I adhered with liquid glue as, I only wanted to adhered the center of the cluster leaving the leaves without adhesive because, I wanted to curl up the leaves to add dimension to the card.
Lastly, I ran through the die-cut machine the Best Wishes word die from the Classic Words Die Set to die-cut the top layer 2X out of heavy weigh cardstock + 1X out of gold cardstock and, last but not least, I ran through the die-cut machine the shadow layer to die-cut it out of Translucent Vellum. Once the die-cuttings were done, I stacked them all, and I adhered the Best Wishes die-cutting word to the card as shown above. To finish the card off, I adhered here and there some of the Crystal Confetti and the card was completed. So, that’s all for today friends, I hope that this simple yet, glittery Best Wishes card inspire you to give the “Love/Valentine’s Day” challenge a try!
