This card is a little different in that the recipient untucks the smaller hot pink paper (with the sentiment on it) from under the little white heart. Then the damask card opens up for a personal message. The card itself is attached to the larger piece of hot pink paper.
The hot pink paper is from a 12 x 12 DCWV “A Type of Art” cardstock pad (that I got on clearance, even better!). The card was made from white cardstock stamped in Hero Arts Shadow Ink Soft Apricot on a Stampabilities Tapestry Pattern wood stamp. I embossed the sentiment (from the Simon Says Stamp “You” set) in white, and then adhered with Tombow Mono Glue the MOM letters. They are from Tim Holtz’ grunge board, and I painted them with a silver Ranger paint dauber. The silver paint matched perfectly with a scrap of silver paper from the same paper pad, which I punched with my EK Success scallop punch.
The heart is actually four pieces of white card stock punched with a mini EK Success heart punch, adhered together with glue, and then covered with white Enamel Accents.
The only thing IÂ’m not happy with is the white edging around the card. My first couple of dashes were okay, and then my white gel pen started drying up. Then I tried another white gel pen. Also dried up. By that point I already had a few lines that couldnÂ’t be erased or covered. Finally, my Tim Holtz Distress Marker in white came to the rescue, but the liners are thicker and fuzzier than I would like.
