Kindness Matters

 Hi bloggers!  Another card from the Die D-lite shows for you today.  This one is being posted as a special request by one of my blog followers, but I hope everyone else enjoys it as well.  I started with kraft card and used the inner die only from the Vines Of Passion D-Lite set to cut an aperture in the centre.  I cut a piece of red card, covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet and covered it with Rock Candy Dry glitter and glued it behind my aperture.  I inked the edges of the topper lightly with black soot distress ink and matted it with both red and black.  I cut two of the floral corner D-lites in white and added them in opposite corners.  Next I cut a larger piece of kraft card and used the Damask Heart and stamped it all the way around the edge with a clear perfect medium pad.  You don't actually realise that it is a heart that is stamped, but rather it gives an interesting background pattern.  I heat embossed it with white powder and then lightly inked the edges with black soot again.  I like the smokey look it gives to kraft card myself.   I tied a piece of black seam binding around it before adding my topper.  I added a messy bow to the side.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with one of the petite labels one dies, inking it lightly while in the die with black soot also.  I tucked the sentiment under a black Dazzler on my bow.  I added a red mat then two black mats that were treated to an edge of Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue dots for accents.  I added three black flatback pearls to my topper to finish off the card.  Very sultry, might make a good card for that special person in your life!   Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.   If you are a heart person, I've put up another card for auction on the right hand side of the blog.  I hope you like it enough to make a charity bid on it!   All for now, Sue x
