If you are looking for my Blog Candy post please go here: Blog Candy Draw is May 17th.
I'm posting two cards today that I designed for Designs by Ryn . Both cards are created with her CM-F16 Vine Heart. It's a beautiful design, I love how the vine winds into a heart which is fun to colour !
The background for the first card was created by stamping and embossing the heart with green powder (Lettuce by Adirondack). I blended Dusty Concord and Peeled Paint Distress Inks over top. The colours are a little softer 'real' than this photo shows. I used a white gel pen to colour in the vines on a few of the embossed hearts.
The sentiment is from a Kaisercraft Set - Life Sentiments CS763, which I stamped with Memento Grape Jelly Dye Ink. I added ribbon and a gold heart charm to finish it off.
The second card below is a clean and simple style or maybe it has too much colour to be considered 'clean'
The background for the above card was created by using a couple of Tom Bow markers to add colour and then sprayed with water. I used a large flat brush to move the paint around. I sprayed over the paint again to create water marks and then added purple glimmer mist. (no salt this time)
I stamped the heart on Vellum paper and embossed with gold. I turned it over onto a foam mat and embossed the vines with a stylus (dry embossing). The embossed areas turn white.
I cut the heart out and attached it with tape specifically for vellum so you can't see it through the paper. I added a dark purple mat before attaching to the folded white card.
Thanks for your visit & enjoy your day !

Wow these are stunning Shirley, I love both of them. The background colours are gorgeous, and the heart stamp is beautiful. I've just bought some water colour card so that I can have a go at the backgrounds. Just need some time to play now.

When I saw the first card, I wanted to say:" This is such a beautie".
Very stylish and chique and delicate.
Than I scrolled down and saw the second card and it went BOEMMMM!!!

Really daring and stunning in this colour.
You can't compare these two, so I won't.
Beautyfull, both of them.

Two lovely cards Shirley The colouring is beautiful.
I love the Ryn designs. This heart is so delicate with the vines. And the dry embossing is also so delicate The second card is an example for how simplicity can be! ( is this good english?) Lots of compliments. warm greets SWaakje
Stunning, stunning, - and classy, classy. What else can I say about perfection
They're both gorgeous, I keep looking at the first one. I never would have thought to put purple and green together - what a stunning combination! I didn't know a white gel pen could color over ink like that. I must get one!!
Hi Shirley, both cards are beautiful, each one in his own way! The colour of the 2th is gorgeousm I love it! And i'm surprised of the combination of colours on the firsst one, it's very good!
