Less is More - Week 36 - One layer hearts

This week's challenge over at Less is More is One Layer:

The can be singular, multiple, any colour, but, MUST be a one layer card, with no additional layers stuck on, apart from the odd embellishment or ribbon!

I've taken a cream 5"x5" card blank and placed the largest of the Spellbinders scalloped heart dies centrally on the card front and then placed a smaller plain heart die in the centre of this.  I then ran them through my Joy machine with the embossing plates so nothing was cut.  I then die cut a piece of copy paper using the scalloped heart die so I could place this over the embossed shape on the card.  I have used Distress Inks all through this project and first stamped the heart stamp from SU Punch Potpourri which just fits inside the small embossed heart and then I placed a mask over the top of it.  I  used my ink dusters to colour the inside of the scalloped heart and then stamped a Clarity Stamp large floral flourish stamp over the top.  To finish I inked the smaller heart and stamped the sentiment which is from the SU Wonderful Words set.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

  4. You managed to find a bit of time in your busy week to make this - clever embossing and stamping which has made the one layer interesting to look at
