Sending Love with the Antilles Floral Bouquet and Heart Wire
by Jean Okimoto

Send a lovely greeting with the new Antilles Floral Bouquet wrapped in the Heart Wire – and make someone smile on a cold winter day.  It's easy with a pair of dies from our latest release.  Hi, Jean Okimoto here, with a simple design for Valentine's Day…or any day!

Cut Antilles Floral Bouquet from gold mirror cardstock and remove the flowers.  Cut the flowers again from pink cardstock.  Attach a scrap of green cardstock behind the centers.

Cut Heart Wire from gold mirror cardstock. 

Cut white cardstock with the 4-½" x 3-¼" Rectangle Basics die.  Attach the bouquet and Heart Wire to the background – trim the ends of the wire a bit.  Attach the rectangle to a side-folded white A2 card.  

Stamp the greeting – from the So Many Things to Love stamp set – on white cardstock with Imagine Crafts Rose Bud Memento Luxe.  Emboss it with Imagine Crafts Irirdescent Powder for a clear, sparkly effect.   Trim it with the smallest die from the Rectangle Basics set.  Attach it with foam dots.

Attach Scor-Tape behind green glittered cardstock and cut the circle pattern from the Distressed Baptisia Collage set.  Instant self-adhesive glitter dots!

I confess that I tried it with the Heart Wire loop circling the stems.  Oh dear…it looked like I was trying too hard to be clever.  Not good at all.   Hope you like how it turned out here!

Thanks for stopping by.  Spend a few minutes combining and layering your diecuts – you'll discover some great combos that will be perfect for your next card!
