Double Hearts

Celebrating the two year anniversary , that's right 2, of one of my favorite challenges, the Twofer Challenge, conceived by none other that a popular Darnell. Since Valentine's Day is imminent, this one will be for...
...and this is my entry:
I used a Hero Arts cover die, both the negative and positive parts, to achieve these looks. No stamping was done on either card. See below for individual details. I did notice that the rules for the challenge indicate that the layout of the cards must be different. I hope the use of these dies is enough to still qualify.
I use the positive diecut hearts to create a freeform heart on a Penny Black diecut panel of patterned paper (it's my 2020 resolution to use up some of the ton of it in my stash). Applied some hearts direct to paper and others with foam tape for dimension. The "valentine" Hero Arts word die was cut from Tonic red foil paper and the subsentiment is from Simon Says. A few of red foil circles complete the card.
Used the negative diecut panel as a stencil and applied Nuvo gold Glacier and red Glitter paste on a white panel, set it aside to dry. Meanwhile, diecut a Simon Says' sentiment out of glitter cardstock and it's shadow layer out of red vellum. Glued them together and added foam tape to stick it to the, now dry, panel. Also added the subsentiment strip. Attached to a panel of gold foil cardstock and, then, to a top folding A2 cardbase. Added some red jewels for even more shine. Sorry none of that shows up in the photo.

  4. These are stunning, Coni! I am so intrigued by this technique of floating the bits from cover plate dies, but I've yet to try it. I love your cluster and that awesome pp and fun you+me= sediment. And your use of the negative die as a stencil for pasting is next level The glitter and shine from the thank you and bling are clearly spectacular! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer's 2nd Blogaversary challenge! Hugs, Darnell
