Hi there everyone, I hope you are all well and have had a good
week whatever you have been up to, and I hope the weather has been kind to you.
Thank you for the very lovely comments on
my boomerang tag last week I really appreciated them and I also appreciated the
wonderful variety of 'Australia' tags that were posted. You are such a talented lot.
Now this week, we're creating hearts, and
even tho' mine should have only taken about twenty minutes, it took two hours
and I went through several hearts!
I used recycled card scraps for the hearts, stamped with a couple of diferent stamps, flitter flakes added and then I clear embossed on top. I'm not a quitter, and have tried this
technique several times but now finally I admit defeat. To use up what I have left,
I will now only use the flakes in blocks of area, using either glue or double sided
tape. Then we shall part company forever. Give me embossing powder anytime,
hahaha. Finally I trapped the black ribbon between a sandwich of other hearts.
I am looking forward to seeing what romantic hearts you have all created, over the next week.
Take care, stay safe & well and I will see you here again next week for creepy crawlie insects :o) *hugs* Mo x
This looks really lovely and what a great idea to use the different sizes.

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your efforts with the flakes. I know how you feel. They look great though.

ReplyDeleteWell worth the work these hearts are beautiful! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Hope you have it hanging up somewhere to enjoy all the time. The embossing sure doesn't look like you struggled with it...it turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteGood on you, Mo. Your persistence paid off - these hearts look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMo I don't know what flitter Flakes are but on your recommendation perhaps I don't need to know. Your colour combination and diminishing size of hearts works a treat.
ReplyDeleteI love your graduated heart string! The embossing on them looks great. Blessings!
