It's the time of year for Heart Cards, and that's the Challenge theme at Just Us Girls.
I started by playing with some new Japanese Sakura Shimmery Pastels that I found at my local Create/Exchange yesterday to create a scribbled and blended background … absolutely gorgeous color and shimmer.
As the packaging noted, they are harder than any Pastel I've ever used with less dust … I had to use much less to get the color saturation I was wanting and they blended effortlessly.
Next I attached gorgeous wide Pink Peony Washi Tape from The Ton to white cardstock and die cut a Spellbinders heart. The washi has gorgeous copper metallic elements, so I die cut Simon Says Stamp Etched Berry Branch from Copper Metallic Cardstock to adorn my heart. I used the same copper metallic cardstock to frame my card.
I finished with some enamel dots on the berries to bring out another color in the washi tape and a tiny love sentiment from Catslife Press stamped inside another Spellbinders Die Cut Heart. With my little Wood Block Stamp, I'm linking-up again at Amy T's #woodblockwednesday challenge.
I'm also linking-up at the Anything Goes Cut It Up! Challenge.
Simple and beautiful!! That washi tape pattern is so pretty! And you just reminded me that I had some gelatos I haven’t played with in a long time; I may have to get them out and play. Thanks for playing with Cut It Up Challenge.
ooooooohhhhh….those pastels are absolutely DREAMY. What a gorgeous card! I love it.
Thanks for linking up to Woodblock Wednesday!
Gorgeous! I love the Washi tape heart as well as your card arrangement. Thank you for joining the Cut it Up Anything Goes Challenge.
