Stamp the flourish hearts on a piece of white cardstock with
the Perfect Medium pad and clear emboss.
Work direct to paper with the Distress pads, starting with
Fired Brick, then with Worn Lipstick, mist with water and dry.
On the reverse side, again direct to paper with Scattered Straw,
Dried Marigold and some Mustard Seed, mist and dry.
Place between some clean unprinted newsprint and iron off the
clear embossing. Repeat till all embossing is removed.
Punch out and or die cut various sized hearts. For the more
bulbous hearts you will need about 5 or 6 per flower. For the
long and skinny type hearts you will need about 8. Fold each
heart in half. Make enough folded heart petals for one flower
with the embossed hearts facing out and some flowers with the
orange color facing out for added variety. All these petals
were done with 1 piece of 8.5 x 11' cardstock with some left
over.
Trim down a white piece of cardstock to leave a small border
on your 5 x 7" card. You can dry emboss the white background
with your embossing folder now, or selectively emboss areas
after the flowers are assembled using a hard rubber mallet on
the edge of a table supported by a leg - this is the method
I used.
