Love is Blue!

I know...by using this title I'm dating myself! I couldn't resist though! Do you remember that song?

Today's TLC was to make a squash card. I have made these fun albums before, but never a card, so I really wanted to try it. So fun, fast, and very easy! I knew right away that I wanted to use my new Hero Arts set, Always Heart, from i {heart} papers.

I started with a piece of soft coral-colored cardstock, then stamped the swirly image on the front with Versamark and dabbed some Pearl-Ex on very gently with a cotton swab. I stamped half of the heart on each side of the fold, and then the final image for the inside on white card stock.


I wish you could see this card in person...it is very simple, but the iridescent shine of the Pearl-Ex makes it so soft and pretty. I tried to capture some of the blue hue on camera, but it doesn't quite do it justice. At a certain angle the Pearl-Ex takes on a beautiful blue, almost amethyst hue.
