Big Hugs

Hello there, today I have a card to share for my Guest Design post for Neat and Tangled. Today I am using the Big Hugs Die along with the Star Stencil. I wanted to keep the card simple to focus on the die so I made a simple background to go with it.

 

I started off by embossing the Star Stencil on to some TH watercolor paper. I then sprayed the piece using Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Teal and Ocean. It is difficult to see in the photos but the background has a beautiful shimmer to it from the sprays.

I wasn't sure whether to emboss the stencil first or after adding the colour but I am glad that I did it before, as the colour ran into the embossed edges and I think it made the background more interesting.

 

 

I die cut the Big Thanks Die three times from white cardstock and stacked these up using liquid glue. I added the background piece to a white A2 card base with foam tape and then added the hugs die on top with more liquid glue.

Like I said, very simple but I have to say, I really like how this card came out. I think I might make some more with different colours for the backgrounds.
