Hi everyone. I did more of a mixed media CAS card for today. I sprinkled Lindy's magical powders (autumn crimson) on a piece of mixed media paper and spritzed with water. Once dry, I die-cut the heart of hearts die. I then took a second piece of mixed media paper and used acetate smooshing to add the same colour of magical powders to the background, along with gold perfect pearls. I love this combination. I took some leftover gold perfect pearls and added bits to the heart as well. The sentiment is stamped in Delicata Gold which is the same shade of yellow gold.
I die-cut two foam pieces of the heart of hearts die and layered them together with the coloured one on top to give my die-cut some dimension.
Here's a close-up ...

Beautiful work with those magical powders. Wow. Intense bold colors that really stand out. I like the smooshed background, too. I also really like the dimension on the heart. Wonderfully beautiful card, Loll! :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is just gorgeous. I love the color and the smooshing. There is no end to the way to use those powders.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! And what a fabulous die. These colors and powders really give this die a little something extra special. It's full of interest, yet it retains just the right amount of lovely white space. Love this. Have a great weekend. Bev

Popping that heart up makes the background look like the color flowed through the hearts, Loll. Beautiful color and design.
