Welcome to the May Art With Heart Creative Showcase. This month the Art With Heart Team have amazing projects to share with you that have been inspired by the card sketch below. The sketch is to be used as a starting point and has been interpreted in many creative ways by the Art With Heart Team.
Now let’s get started!
Today’s card uses the Ornate Garden Suite and the Peaceful Poppies Suite of
Products, all which will still be available in the new Annual catalogue starting 3 June!
The front of the Balmy Blue card base is embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder, before a layer of Old Olive card, die cut with the Ornate Layers dies. A Piece of DSP is added, long with other elements you can see.
This centre feature is the ornate style stamp set image stamped onto some Sparkle Glimmer Paper and die cut in a circle. I’ve coloured the image, gently in a dabbing motion so as not to ruin them, with Stampin’ Blends Markers. How pretty does it look?!!
On the inside I have the same image stamped on Whisper White card stock, coloured the same way and fussy cut. This is glued to the Champagne Foil Sheet, die cut with the gorgeous Ornate Layers dies. The Navy card is embossed with the new Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.
But then you open it again to reveal the inside of the card!
How did I do that? The card consists of 2 standard card bases, but the Navy one is flipped over and opens in the opposite direction and is glued behind the Balmy Blue card base!

Wow Kate, what an amazing card! The stamped and coloured image on the glimmer paper is stunning – what a fantastic look you’ve achieved! And the ribbon trim on the edge of your banner looks gorgeous. And how special does your inside sentiment look on the ornate frame – a really special card. Love it! x

Yes, I’m not a fan of Old Olive and Balmy Blue together, but trying combinations outside my comfort zone 😉

Wow. What a gorgeous card with so many special features. Love your colouring of the glimmer paper – gives a lovely effect. And then the beautifully coloured flowers when you open the card with one of the ornate frames on the embossed layer. Also, the combination of the different blue card-stocks. All so lovely. x
