Hey there! This week on the Aver Elle blog we’re featuring the gorgeous Embellished Heart Die. I love when I can get more bang for my buck so this die is a great investment as it can give you a multitude of looks. The die cuts an embellished aperture from your material leaving the “positive” heart die cut. Simple to create to totally different cards with no waste!
For the first card I started with an A2 card base and carefully centred the die cut wood veneer to the front. From the card I created last week using the Three Hearts Die (HERE) I had the white hearts left over so used a couple of them on these cards (tip – always keep your die cuts – you never know when they’ll come in handy). I lightly brushed some Orchid pigment ink around the smaller heart to let it pop off the card a little – it’s subtle but it adds a lot of texture. To bring the elements together I bunched some gold thread and held it down with some adhesive and popped the inked heart die cut onto it with foam tape. I created the sentiment using the new Simple Sentiments stamp set, heat embossed with white powder and then die cut using one of the co-ordinating dies. I added a few tiny black gems to tie the black sentiment in.
