Hello bloggers! Starting with a piece of white card, I sprinkled
Groovy Grape and Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles all over the card. I spritzed it with water, then covered it with a piece of cling film and scrunched it a bit to leave lines in the background. I set it aside to dry overnight, then removed the cling film the next day to reveal this pretty background. I used the
Lace Heart Stampcut die and inked it with a
Black Archival ink pad, then ran it through the die cutting machine to stamp and cut it. I did this three times. I used
Distress Markers to colour the hearts (
Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac and Dusty Concord). I added the hearts with mounting foam in a diagonal line across the card. I cut the
Happy Valentine's Day sentiment in both black and white card and used the white one as the shadow behind it. I glued it in the lower corner of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue xx
Morning Sue.
A very pretty card thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh these stampcuts look so pretty on the sample today, just like a lace heart doily, amazing what you can do with the right dies, stamps and colours, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
How beautiful, my favourite background technique, I must buy some sparkles to add to my 'non sparkles' I keep promising myself a few shakers, just do it silly woman!!
Those hearts are so precious they look so ornate, I would imagine you have many many numerous valentine samples ready to showcase in your folders so it's OK to showcase this at the start of 2022 xx
Good morning Sue and all.
A gorgeous card to start the day.
From the beautiful background to the important sentiment. Everithing about it

Have a good day.

Hi SUE
What a fantastic card looks like it's diamante on your card which I'm thinking was probably your intention being it's a valentine card beautiful.
Owlish Xx
Good Morning Sue. Ohhhh. How lovely is this card today. But you know how much I love blue ... and the pixie sparkles background is absolutely gorgeous.. But the crowning glory ... as Owlish already said ... are those hearts. Yes they do look like Diamante but Lace Diamantes and I love them. Thankyou Sue.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hi Sue. Another lovely card again today and you are showing once again that you can use hearts with a colour other than red and get a great result.

Hi Sue
Happy Monday everyone x
Well it’s been ages - haven’t been on here since 22nd October! Won’t bore you with the details but been poorly and very much out of action. So hello all you lovely Wilsonettes - so glad to be back x
I love this card. I do have a bit of a soft spot for blue and anything pixie is always going to rock my boat. Your lace heart is beautiful and is
showcased perfectly on that gorgeous background. I have a feeling we’re going to see a few more Valentines cards over the coming weeks before the day itself and if they’re all as fabulous as this one I cant wait x

I was blown away when I first saw you do this technique and I still love how it turns out, no two cards are the same! Today’s card is a perfect example when using it combined with a gorgeous die!
