Good Saturday morning. Do you love hearts? I sure do! I adore the new Bingham Heart by Memory Box and pairing it with the new Hollyhock Stem.
I started by tracing a pattern of the heart on the white card base using the heart die cut as a template and cutting it out using my craft knife and cutting mat. I thought pink patterned paper would be so pretty peeking through the heart opening.
I attached the green heart to the opening with touches of glossy accent. I didn’t glue the whole heart down but just at some of the key flowers. I cut a pink heart, cut all the flowers off the stem and formed with my mat and stylus. Using the point of my paper piercer I picked up the flowers and attached to the base flower with glossy accents. I used the flower mound die to cut the tiny flowers and attached them inside the larger flowers and around the heart frame to soften.
I cut three hollyhock stems in green and again in pink, cut and formed the pink flowers and attached to the green base stem. I arranged the stems on the lower corner of the heart and attached with glossy accents and glue dots. I love how sweet and delicate this turned out. You could easily put a lovely sentiment on the inside of the card to show through but I love it just as it is.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend.
