Have moved now from anniversary/love ones for the stash on to baby ones (will share later) but this is one of the smalzchy gooey ones.........
Started by using Spun Sugar DI onto the stamping block and spritzed with water to create the watercolour wash background.
Stamped the handle of the brolly - considered colouring it but changed my mind!.
The umbrella canopy stamped and embossed with white onto a scrap of spotty paper and then popped up with foam pads.
Rummaged about in the 'scrap box' and found odd teeny bits of card (why I kept such small pieces I don't know but glad I did!) and then punched out all the hearts.
I punched out too many so now have a lots of these floating about in the scrap box too!
They were really fiddly to stick onto the card - I ended up using a pair of tweezers and dunking the heart into some glue as I gave up trying to glue the back of them whilst holding between my fingers - there was more glue on me......
Sentiment stamped and a few Dew Drops for a little bit more interest to the background.
Not too bad?

It may have been fiddle to stick the hearts down, but it looks a gorgeous card Viv.

Love this card Viv, such an imaginative use of the brolly and must have taken you ages to punch out all those hearts never mind the sticking down on them but great effect

Absolutely perfect Viv! Love reading how you made your snippets card - and those hearts spilling out of the upturned umbrella - brilliant. And dewdrops -I have a ton of those and never remember to use them - duh.

Well worth all that fiddling Viv lol. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSweet card Viv! Love the soft and delicate wash of pink for your background. The umbrella is adorable cut from polka-dot paper and filled with hearts. I'm with you and gluing little pieces, they all end up stuck to me instead of the card. :) You did a great job! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
ReplyDeleteSo pretty a very classy design love and hugs Carole x
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, love the hearts in different shades of pink x
ReplyDeleteViv, what a sweet card! I really like the paper pierced umbrella filled with punched pink hearts. Thank you so much for sharing your card with us at AAA Cards Challenge. - Sweet Kobylkin
ReplyDeleteA very pretty creation. Love the umbrella with the hearts. Thanks for joining in at Daring Cardmakers.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll and three great cards too.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft mottled background you got with the spritz on the block. It looks lovely with the paper pieced umbrella, and I like that you left the handle uncovered. It looks 'artsy' this way. The hearts filling the umbrella was such a cute idea, and love the idea of tumbling a few out. It's cheerful and cute, and I love the sentiment! TFS & Happy Valentine's Day too!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Thank you for joining the challenge at Crafting with Dragonflies. Hope to see you again next time
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and what a great way to use the umbrella for a Valentine's card!
