Love You

It's been a while since I played along in the Muse challenge, but Michele's pretty card for this week's challenge caught my eye and I couldn't resist trying my own take on her die cut technique.

Love You card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking AloudOn my version, I placed a layered die cut word at the intersection between a pattern and a solid.  My pattern comes from a patterned paper panel.  I die cut Winnie and Walter's "love" die from hot pink cardstock a few times and placed it on the cardfront, nesting it in the space where I'd cut the word from the top of the patterned paper panel.  For the final layer, I added the patterned paper on top, giving the bottom half of the layered word a 3-d like look.  Now that I look at it again, I should have removed the piece from the open space in the "e."  Oh, well . . .

I tried to stop there, but I couldn't!  I stamped the word "you" from the My Precious stamp set beneath the layered die cuts in black ink, then added a trio of sparkly pink sequins around it.  The final touch was a simple die cut kraft stitched heart.  It was adhered to the bottom half of the "l" using foam tape.

Materials Used:
My Precious stamp set, In a Word:  Love die (Winnie and Walter); VersaFine Onyx Black (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Raspberry Fizz and Kraft cardstock, Dotty Biscotti patterned paper (Papertrey Ink); Of the Heart die (Lil' Inker Designs); pink sequins (Treehouse Studio); foam tape

  4. what a striking and lovely card! I can't wrap my head around how you achieved the design on the die cut letters (need more coffee this AM!) but they pack a real "Wow" factor!
