I found some dies on Amazon that were considerably cheaper as they aren't well know brand names so I thought I'd give them a try. They took a while to arrive but I think it was worth it as they cut really well and this one is so pretty.
I decided to use both the positive and the negatives (the out cuts) . I decided to keep the same shape as the die as I think its pleasing to the eye.
I firstly coloured a piece of card using distress inks in pinks and purples and water to get a soft random effect. I then cut the the die. I then cut it a second time in plain white card.
I used some centura pearlised white card cut into 2 A5 cards. I added the white die cut full circle to one card and then the coloured die cut atop so it was slightly raised from the base.
The second card I again built using stacks but this time using the negatives but not for all the hearts. I used the die as a template to create the shape adding a couple of hearts to the sides.
I haven't added a sentiment as I think these cards would be great for Valentine's day, anniversary, engagement or even wedding or birthday but I do love how they turned out.
