CASE of an older card

The other day, Facebook sent me a memory of a card I made back in 2009, so I shared the memory on Facebook. A friend of mine suggested that I make a CASE of this card, so I took up the challenge! 

Here's the card photo that popped up on Facebook (the original card used all products from Stampin' Up, all of which, I believe, are now discontinued.) The word die I used on my CASE is also discontinued.

Hugs and Kisses for Paper Rose

Today, I'm sharing a card using a large sentiment die from Paper Rose.

I created the background for this card using a technique I learned in an online retreat with Lydia Fiedler of Understand Blue. I started with black synthetic cardstock, and added a few drops of white alcohol mixative and blending fluid. I added a couple of drops of blue and pink alcohol ink over the top of the white, and then spread out the puddle of mixed inks with a spray can of compressed air. Before it dried completely, I smoothed a sheet of Minc foil over the top, which adhered to the parts that were still tacky. 

I cut the panel down to just smaller than my white card base, then cut the Hugs and Kisses die from white cardstock and adhered it over the alcohol ink panel. I used the negative piece of the die cut to line up the letters and the hearts perfectly.

The current Stay Crafty Challenge with A Blog Named Hero is all about making the sentiment the star. I try to do that by having no other image on the card - that doesn't mean you can't have a colourful card! You don't have much longer to join in, so visit the Hero Arts blog for your chance to win!
