My heart melts…

Published by Julia Stainton at 7:04 pm under Card Designs, Holiday, Lizzie Anne Designs

My heart just melts for these DARLING little snowmen! I made this card the other…right after my other snowmen design. I just couldn’t put them down. So cute! It has been a busy day here with all the kids home. Running around everywhere…my job as a chauffeur, you know! LOL I’m also coming down with something…SO not fun. I seem to have lost my voicce…I’m just glad I can still type! And so, I’m going to make this short. :)

Melt Your Heart

I wanted to play up on the heart part of the sentiment so I punched out a scalloped heart with my Giga Marvy punch. After stamping my heart shapes from the new Heart 2 Heart stamp set from Lizzie Anne Designs, I adhere the shape to my layer and stitched it on my sewing machine. I then matted my layer with Pomegranate and whisper white cardstock and distressed the outer edge of the panel with my Heidi Swapp edge distresser.

For the image, I simply stamped it onto some cardstock vellum for a Frosty look and then colored in my snowmen image with my Copic Makers. To attach my vellum strip and to frame the layer, I stitched around the edges of the panel.

The main card base of this design is a 5.25″ square card base of whisper white. It is layered with Purely Pomegranate and then a Snowflurry stamped piece of Soft Sky Cardstock. I love this color combo! The white and soft sky really feel like winter but that warmth comes from the Pomegranate and hints at the “heart” of this design.

    How absolutely darling. I love that you played up the heart part of that sentiment. It made it the perfect “close to Valentine’s Day” card in the middle of winter. :) Love it!

    Isn’t that combo of soft sky and pomegranate yummy? So pretty together.
