A new challenge begins today at The Paper Funday, it's anything goes but I have chosen to follow the optional twist of Hugs and Kisses.
The newer dies are the strip dies used to make the edging at top and bottom of the card and the embossing on the silver satin card. To use dies as embossing templates is easy and it gives them yet another use. Place a silicon embossing mat under the card you wish to emboss, place the die on the card and run through the machine, you will need to adjust your 'sandwich' - for my machine I use two pieces of card from a cereal box with my clear plates, leaving out the 1 & 2 shims.
Each silver heart has a scalloped edge purple heart underneath to tie it in with the card liner. It looked a little bare so I used some silver peel off borders to bring in a little more silver, I have lots of peel offs in my stash so it's time to use\them up. I don't feel it's cheating, I know if I tried to stamp a long border like that it would fine until the last bit so at least this way it looks even.
The Paper Funday has lots of inspiration for you so please pop over and take a look, then come and join us with your creation.

Gorgeous card and so clever how you've embossed the hearts. They look like those vintage tin ceiling tiles. Thanks for another lovely team project for The Paper Funday Challenges. Donna

This is beautiful and such a clever idea to add texture to your hearts like that. Another idea to note. Very elegant in your purple, white and silver colour scheme. Thanks for Shopping your Stash with us this time. Alison DT x
