Thinking of you card

Hello crafty bloggers today I have created a thinking of you card. I used some great Close To My Heart stamp sets. I had so much fun creating my own backgrounds using ctmh stamps. 

I used

Family is Forever – September 2014 Stamp of the Month

 

Below take a look at a short video sharing how I created my card.

 

I will also enter my card to Mojo Monday 361-Contest

Go on over and check out the card sketch challenge.

 

 

 

 

I added GL. Brown wink of stella to the center heart

and covered it with Liquid Glass,

 which made is glittery and 3D

 

I also added the wink of stella with Liquid Glass

to the small hearts.  I love the 3D look the Liquid Glass

gives the hearts.

 

 

The background I used Chocolate CTHM card stock

and stamped color on color using the

Chocolate ink pad.  In the center of the flowers I added

Bling Gems Gold Assortment

I love this bling they sparkle so pretty.

are very versatile and can be used in many ways.
