Kissing Technique

Another card from one of my recent Technique classes. This one uses the 'Kissing' technique.

The top half of the background showcases the technique. I have used the block heart stamp from the I (Heart) Hearts stamps set. I inked this up in Pretty In Pink and then inked the Dot Dot Dot background stamp in Real Red. The heart stamp was then carefully pressed on to the dotty stamp to pick up some of the red dots and this was then stamped on to the cardstock.

The bottom half of the background was stamped using the En Francais background stamp.

I used the Full Heart and the Heart to Heart punches together with the Scalloped Heart of Heart Embosslit die to complete the card.

Bird Punch - Wedding Card

There are three new punches released this month in the new Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up! These are all very different punches to the previous ones and are in a completely different style. I've used the Extra Large Bird punch to create this card, punching the main bird and the branches from the fabulous Bridesmaid papers. The main heart is from the new I {Heart} Hearts stamp set. I stamped it twice, punching out the wings from one image. The tags were stamped using the new Tiny Tags stamp set and punch out using the ... also new :o) .... medium Jewellery Tag punch. I stamped the Close to Cocoa cardstock with the Paisley background stamp .... and absolutely love this effect! All finished off with a Very Vanilla Taffeta bow :o) Gorgeous!

This card was inspired by a couple of other cards I have seen recently either on blogs or SCS. Unfortunately I can't find them now and as the images weren't watermarked I can't credit the originator. But if it's you ...... then thank you! Your cards inspired me :o)
