Using Dies to Accentuate a Shape - Hero Arts

Using Dies to Accentuate a Shape

Hello and Happy Wednesday! It's Amy here with a Valentine's Day card design. I'm having fun with the January My Monthly Hero add-ons.

I heat embossed the Rose Heart in white on a panel from the Blush Mix Layering Paper pack. Using the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies accentuates their shape. The sentiment is from the Love Birds Stamp & Cut. The Love is Love Bold Prints was perfect for my design and has been stamped in Wet Cement Mid-Tone Shadow Ink.

I have a huge drawer full of washi tape so I decided to add a strip to my card. Adding the additional Blush strip brings the design all together.

I am happily planning on sending out a bunch of Valentine's Day cards this weekend, how about you?

Calling all those in the Pacific Northwest!

I will be teaching a Hero Arts class at Impress in their Tukwila store on Saturday, February 3rd, 10:00 am - noon. There will be five cards which will all include a new design from the Hero Arts 2018 Catalog. Plenty of prizes and fun, hope you will join us! Please call Impress directly to register.
