Tami’s Bleeding Heart – Tutorial #491

Hey There,

Punched a 1 1/4″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note.  Used it to mask my sun on a 4″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.

Brayered More Mustard ink on the card stock.

Brayered Melon Mambo ink on the card stock.

Brayered Rich Razzelberry ink at the top of the card stock.

Removed the sun mask and sponged More Mustard ink in the center of the sun.

Made two stems using an Old Olive Marker.

Sponged Old Olive ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Basic Black at the very bottom of the card stock.

Punched 7 small hearts out of Rose Red card stock.

Colored the left side of the heart with a Rose Red marker to create a shadow and dimension in the heart.

Adhered the hearts to my main image panel.

Added a little stem to the hearts that connects to the large stem using an Old Olive marker.

Livened the heart up by putting a highlight on each heart using a white gel pen.

Stamped the leafy plant from the Stampin Up Pocket Silhouettes set using Old Olive ink a few times at the bottom left corner of the main image panel.

Added a Melon Mambo panel, Old Olive Panel, Whisper White Panel.

Added Whisper White Ribbon.

Added 4 Gold Brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May you let someone you care about know it today.

Until my next post. . . . .  . . .
