What a fun Ways To Use It Challenge today!! Embellishment Pile-Up! Too fun!!!!
I've added pewter brads, bling, ruffled ribbon, velvet ribbon and embossing powder. This CTMH Soul Mates set is probably my most favorite and the most versatile "heart" stamp set I own - you can find it here if you'd like: https://lindablack.myctmh.com/Retail...?CatalogID=112
I've used this stamp set so many times for challenges here on Splitcoaststampers. The hearts are embossed, then I gathered ribbon with the help of the sewing machine and used red-line tape and glue dots to attach it to the hearts. The hearts are attached to the card with red-line tape since there is so much lumpiness in cardstock.
I used the paper pleating method again that we used in the Try A New Technique Challenge last week - it's really hard to see the pleats - wish you could see it IRL it has so much dimension. So the pleats would pop a little more I added 3D Foam Squares under each pleat. Used the Martha Stewart Lace Edge Border Punch on the Colonial White Cardstock - punched both side of the paper.
Fun challenge today - I was happy with how my card turned out today - I'll have to give it to my DH for our Anniversary/Valentine's Day.
