New Challenge #71 at Glitter n Sparkle

Hello again
Yep I'm still waiting for my Nephew 
I think he's nice and snug and comfy.
Don't think he likes all the cold weather 
at the moment in Denmark.
(And I told my Brother that Baby 
might come 2 weeks early ..... 
Oooopps)

Anyway here is my project for this week:-

The Theme at 
Glitter n Sparkle is:-
Valentines/Use some Red

Our Sponsors this week are:-

Bugaboo who are offering
7 Images from their store

Stitchy Bear Stamps who are offering
$10 Gift Certificate for images from
Stitchy, Coosty and Hope Jacare Doodles

Di's Digi Downloads who are offering
$12 Gift Certificate for their store

My project for this week is:-

Love Apple Tree digi stamp 
from Hope Jacare Doodles at Stitchy Bear Stamps 
(one of our sponsors)



To begin with I cut my base Card from
 A4 White Pearlised Card
(Ross Papers)
folded it in to 3 parts to make a tent card.
and trimmed it down to make it 14cm wide.

I then used my Heart dies
(Sizzix Framelits (6pk))
and die-cut out on Red Card
(stash)
1 Large, 1 3rd Smallest and 2 Smallest.
And from some plain white decopage paper
die cut out 3rd Smallest and 1 Smallest inside it.
and for my sentiment I typed it out
using my Greeting Card Factory
(in English 111 Presto BT Font),
then die cut it using the 2nd Smallest Heart.

I then coloured in my Image twice,
and the Double Cut Heart
using my Promarker Pens.
I then Decopaged up the Image.

For the main part of the card
I placed the Large Red Heart so that it
'Popped' up and placed the
coloured cut out heart at the bottom of it.
I then placed my decopaged Tree
so it filled the right 'cheek' of the heart.

Using a 6 x 14 cm wide piece
of White Pearlised Card,
I wrapped a 2.5cm strip of White Lace
(Boyes Haberdashery)
Then placed on my Medium Red Heart
layered with my sentiment,
and the 2 small Red Hearts,
and stuck it to the bottom of the card
so the 'Tent' could stand up.

To finish my card off I used some
Lime Green Ribbon
(Boyes Haberdashery)
which I made into a Bow.
and added some Medium Flat-back Clear Crystals
(stash)
as an accent to the large heart.
And as a Border at the bottom I alternatively spaced
some Large flat-back Clear Crystals
(stash)
and some very small hearts
(which I had saved from leftovers from
an X-cut Heart Boarder Punch).
