Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase February - Love and Valentine's Day

Hello and welcome,

I'm so excited to share with you two projects I have created for the latest Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase hosted by Rachel Woollard, I'll post the link to her page at the end of my blog. 

We are sharing our creativity with the theme Love and Valentine's Day. I can smell Love is in the air with Valentine's Day coming up on the 14th February and I thought I would make something special for my hubby. 

I've made a card and a 3D project using the Always in My Heart Bundle and the Gilded Leafing Embellishment which you can find in the latest Stampin' Up! January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. Oh and also the Blender Brushes, I just love them so much!

My favourite colour at the moment would have to be Pacific Point, I just love the richness of this colour I've combine it with Night of Navy Ink and the Gilded Leafing.

To create the card I've started with a panel of Whisper/Basic White Cardstock to create the Ombre effect I've used the Blender Brush and Pacific Point Ink using circler motions across the panel adding more ink as I go. I wanted a deeper blue at the bottom so I added Night of Navy Ink. 

For the detailed floral Ombre heart I've used Pacific Point Ink with the Blender Brush and applied ink onto a piece of Whisper/Basic White Cardstock leaving some white on the outer edge of the Cardstock. This also applies to heart for the 3D Mini Gold Pizza Box.

For the "LOVE" & "YOU" I've created the Ombre look by using Whisper White Cardstock, Pacific Point Ink, Blender Brushes, the Playful Alphabet Dies for the letters "LOVE" & "YOU" and Foam Adhesive Sheets. 

I wanted to add the Gilded Leafing to my project gold and blue is such a lovely combination. Gilded Leafing is the same as the powder embossing still using Versamark Ink which I've added the Ink with a Sponge Dauber and also with the edge of the Versamark Ink Pad to the Cardstock. Add the Heat & Stick Powder, heat set with the Heat Tool and then apply the Gilded Leafing. I remove any excess of gold with a Stamping Sponge. 

The Gold Mini Pizza Box is the same as the card, except for the Fine Art Gold Ribbon which is tied around the gold box. 

Well that's it for my blog, now it's time to visit Rachel Woollard and all the other participants from the Art With Heart Team. I'm so looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects.
