Radiating Hearts

I created this card using the Altenew Radial Hearts Cover Die, Lavinia Stamps Mysticals Mica Spray, and a Spellbinders Hot Foil Sentiment and Die.

To begin the card, I sprayed Lavinia Stamps Mahogany Twist Mysticals on a piece of Strathmore watercolor paper and let that dry completely. I die cut the collective hearts using the Altenew cover die and my Big Shot, along with a piece of Park Lane cardstock. To ensure adhesion of the hearts die cut to the Mysticals cardstock, I used two different kinds of adhesive: Scor-Tape and Ranger Multi Medium Matte.

I utilized the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, along with a Mini Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Die, to create the sentiment.

Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cover has worked well for me when I’ve hot foiled sentiments. The one I use has the gecko in the upper right corner (There are different versions with the same name.)

To finish the card, I attached the sentiment to the cardstock with Scor-Tape, followed by the cardstock to a black cardstock base.
