Hi there, it's Tracey here today with a couple square cards using the Layered Hearts dies. These began as cards for Valentines, but time got away from me. So they were finished after the 14th as cards that you can send any time of the year. Both of today's cards are 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square and although the cards are different, they both use the same process.
The Kinsley Heart and the Petal Heart layer sets are beautiful whether you use all three layers together or just the top for a delicate look! I love this die set because even with all three layers you can still see the amazing stitched lines on the bottom layer!
To make the pink heart using all three layers of the Kinsley Heart layers dies. I began by blending a panel with Distress Oxide Inks--Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. This will be the background for the layered heart and the bottom layer of the letter dies. It was cut with the largest heart in the Perfect Hearts die set. The layers of the Kinsley heart were cut from white cardstock and glued together. The 'xoxo' was cut using the Mod Alphabet die set. The bottom layer from the ink blended panel and the top from white cardstock.
Before attaching the layered heart and 'xoxo' to the card base it was spritzed with Distress Oxide Spray in Picked Raspberry. I sponged a bit a pink ink on the centre of the heart for interest.
The green card used the Petal Layers die set, but only Layer A for a more delicate design.
Just like with the pink card I blended a panel with Distress Oxide Inks, this time I used Tumble Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. I used the panel once again for the layered heart and the bottom layer of the letter dies. Layer A of the Petal Heart layer set was cut from white cardstock. The 'xoxo' was cut using the Mod Alphabet die set. The bottom layer from the ink blended panel and the top from white cardstock.
This time before attaching the heart and 'xoxo' to the card base it was spritzed with Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Spray.
