Valentine's Card for Swap 07

This card was inspired by the foil paper tole.

Materials:
  • Patterned Paper (Slice paper pad - a fairly thick paper - almost card stock)
  • White card stock
  • White glimmer paper
  • Black paper & card stock
  • Silver glimmer paper
  • "Fancy Hearts" foil papier tole (HOTP
  • "Love & Five Hearts" dies (HOTP)
  • "Bodacious Blooms" dies (HOTP)
  • "Vintage Label & Banner" dies (JustRite)
  • "Antique Valentine Tags One" stamps (JustRite)
  • "Hearts Background" embossing folder (Darice)
  • tiny silver raindrop stickers
Card Front:
  • Background: Cut black paper a bit smaller than card front (for mat) and patterned paper a bit smaller than that.  Layer in place.
  • Border: Cut a strip of black paper (approx 3/4") and adhere about 3/4" from bottom of card front.
  • Focal: Cut lacy edge & lacy center heart from black card stock.  Cut mat from white glimmer paper.  Glue lacy pieces in place & then adhere near the left edge of the card at a very slight angle.  Add the largest papier tole piece overlapping that on the right side.
  • Sentiment: Cut banner from silver glimmer paper, stamp & heat emboss with fine black powder.  Add with foam squares as shown.
  • Embellishments: Complete the border by adding 3 small silver hearts (from papier tole) to the right side of the border.  For the "flower" on the left, die cut a piece from white glimmer paper (bodacious blooms die) and then layer the papier tole piece on that before adding to the border as shown.
Inside:
  • Border: Cut a 1 3/4" strip of black card stock & emboss it with the hearts background.  Glue it about 1" from the bottom of card.  Add narrow strips of the patterned paper on either side.  Add flower created the same way as for the card front.
  • Focal: Add the next largest piece of papier tole to the left as shown.
  • Butterfly: Add one of the extra butterflies (from papier tole) and create a "flight path" using small stickers.
