From My Heart- New Thinlit


I have been wanting to use the new Circle Thinlits and there is no time like the present!  Using Calypso Coral I cut it out, folded it, then.... nothing.  I had no idea what I should do next.  For inspiration I turned to the Stampin" Up! demonstrator website, Stampin' Connection and looked at samples using this thinlit.  I discovered I liked the cards that used DSP on both sides.  With that I took out my Subtles Collections' DSP and cut it to fit both sides.  I knew I wanted an image that was somewhat circular and found the stamp set From my Heart.  I stamped it on Whisper White then partly cut it out taking advantage of the circular shape but hand cutting the ends of the banner.  I stamped it again and cut out just the banner.  Then using Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral reinkers I colored in the stamped image and adhered it to the card base.  I colored in the banner and used dimensionals to attach it on top.  On the reverse side of the circle, I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White.  I used the scalloped circle from this thinlit set and cut out it out in Crisp Cantalope.  Using dimensionals I mounted the sentiment on the scallop circle and attached it to the circle.  Last I added three pearls to the bottom right hand corner.  I am pleased with the results!
