VALENTINE'S DAY COUNTDOWN No 19

More metal tooling!

Silver Heart by Freyja Lee















Freyja says:

• Stamp: Non Sequitur ‘Memories of Italy‘ stamp plate
• The English Stamp Co.2102 Leaf
• This is the easiest design of all using a small piece of metal foil with a simple print or pattern placed on top, and traced with a stylus.
  
• Take the pattern away and impress the design more deeply.
• It is not difficult to work free had copying a pattern or making your own.
• The leaf is embossed twice onto coloured vellum and cut out.
• The background is from the Memories of Italy plate and silver embossed .
• Two rectangles of sparkle gauze are layered with the other elements as shown.

NOTE: This card is actually monochrome, ie: all shades of the same colour (see Countdown No 16 for an example I made, all in shades of grey using the one colour of ink throughout). This is a great way to ensure that all elements of your card blend together - all lilacs, as here; blues, pinks...
