If you read my blog post on Monday you are aware that I am changing things up a bit this week. Monday was a fabulous Easel Fun Fold. Today will be Make-It-Mine and tomorrow will be a Tools of the Trade post. I hope I don’t throw anyone off too much! Ha!
I love the Lots of Heart bundle. Not only are the stamps in the bundle fabulous but the dies are great too! Check out this card I found on the internet. Isn’t the floral heart lovely? And the large pink scalloped heart is the perfect background. Even though the checked heart (my favorite from the stamp set) isn’t used on this card I couldn’t resist trying to copy it and Make-It-Mine.
Naturally I got carried away. The only things I really copied were the card design itself and the basic colors. I’m sure this doesn’t surprise you. If I’m going to make a card my own I like to go for it. 🙂
When I was getting started on my version my eye caught the Love You Always Foil Sheets in my craft room and I knew I had to give them a try. Not only did I use the Rococo Rose Foil Sheets for my floral heart but I decided to give them a try on the background. But I couldn’t just use the foil sheet plain, I wanted to see how it looked embossed with my new favorite embossing folder – The Painted Texture Embossing Folder!
I love it! My version turned out perfectly! The card I copied is soft and sweet but I think my version is shiny and bright. Fun! Don’t be afraid to experiment a little when making someone else’s card your own.
I need to tell you that it’s really difficult to photograph a card with with so much foil sheet on it. It’s so shiny! It not only reflects the light but a lot of time you get your own reflection in it. I hope you get at least an idea of how pretty this card really is.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
