I picked out two elements that included a heart, the strip and a heart cut out of one of the other stamps and heat embossed them in gold onto blue card. I picked out elements of the hearts in red H2O paint, before cutting all the elements out and assembling the frame using the larger hearts as corners and backing it onto maroon card. I die cut a heart in blue and embossed some appropriate words from the Artistic Expressions plate.
To finish the panel, I die cut loads of the fine Memory Box scroll die and stuck them carefully around the panel using a pin to apply the pva to the flourishes. I finished the panel with small brass butterflies which were dismantled ear-rings from Primark again!
Do pop over to the Design Team blog for the next couple of weeks where there are loads of lovely designs coming through to inspire you with these stamps.

This is beautiful Elaine and such a lot of patient work. Gorgeous embossing and I love that beautiful scroll die but it must have been so tedious applying the glue to them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm sneaking a half hour blog hop before I collapse into bed. It's been an exhausting evening with our two little divas, lol!

love the colours....a very striking card
ReplyDeleteThe blue & maroon are just super together & I love the way that finely die-cut scroll picks out the filigree nature of hearts frame - that's some very nifty cutting & gluing but the result is quite splendid. the butterflies add a lovely special touch.

Hello Elaine this panel is beautiful and must have taken a lot of patience , but it has certainly paid off as it is such a fabulous piece. Suexxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely intricate sample Elaine, reminiscent of days gone by, William Morris maybe, but certainly skilled craftmanship, which is what I associate with you. I love the little details picked out in the border, and the butterflies, which are an image that I am very fond of. The fine swirls look lovely against the deep background and really emphasise the heart. Judith xx
