"Heart and Soul" 90 Minute Scramble

I enjoyed the Hero Arts 90 minute scramble this morning, even if it was at 4am New Zealand time.  The good thing was the house was quiet and I could enjoy making cards with no distractions.

The challenge was hosted by Marcy and the theme was “Heart and Soul”.  We had to create a card/project using a heart in any way other than simply stamping on our paper.  I had lots of fun with this one.

In the Hero Arts Valentine exchange I was sent a beautiful card which inspired my with my creations for this challenge.  You can see the wonderful card Martha sent me here.

My first card:  I have CASED the card from Martha and used purples and instead of an embossed pattern on the heart I have used a dry embossed pattern.

The stamps I used:
Hero Arts Happy Birthday greeting E1119
Hero Arts Envelope Pattern S5507
Also used the cuttlebug swirl folder

I stamped the background in the envelope pattern in lilac impress ink. I then dry embossed the swirl pattern on to purple card and cut this out into a heart shape. I stamped Happy Birthday onto lilac card and mounted this onto purple card to border it. I corner punched the corners of the sentiment and mounted it on the card. I added the purple ribbon.

Here is my second card:  I have used the red colour like the one from Martha and the clear embossed technique on the hearts, but the design is a little different.



The stamps I used:
Hero Arts Branch background CG122
Hero Arts Old French Writing H2365

I stamped the words background stamp in fired brick distress ink onto cream card and corner punched the corners.  I clear embossed the branch background stamp onto red card, cut out two heart shapes and mounted it on the card.   I added the red ribbon.  I mounted the background onto red card and corner punched the corners.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
