Weaved Cardstock Strips Valentine's Card

Hello! I created this card for the Hero Arts Blog's Challenge on CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) A Favorite Card of the Year. My most recent created card that I really like and enjoyed creating is the Weaved Cardstock Strips. I used colored cardstock strips for that Christmas themed card. For this card, I used white cardstock strips and I created a Valentine's themed card. 

I looked through my stash and pulled out all the white cardstock strips then started weaving.

For the focal point, I die cut the heart from the Hero Arts Floral Heart Stamp & Cut By Lia on red cardstock, vellum and red glitter paper. I did a bit of surgery on the red cardstocks and red glitter paper. On the red cardstocks, I trimmed off the details inside the heart to create a heart outline. For the glitter paper, I trimmed off the center solid portion. 

I heat embossed the sentiment on the vellum die cut using Ranger Rich Red Embossing Powder. I adhered the glittered die cut on the back of the vellum slightly off setting it. I trimmed off the excess. I adhered one of the red heart outline on the back and adhered the other one on the front. 

I adhered the weaved cardstock strips to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" red carstock. I adhered the heart to the weaved panel. I added shimmer to the top red heart using Spectrum Noir Solar Red Shimmer Pen. I added several Ink Road Donna Pearls Flat Beads to the centers of the flowers. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I enjoyed creating the weaved portion of the card. It brought me back to my grade school days when we will do this in Art using art paper. It was also fun creating something new out of the heart floral die. 

Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
