Hi friends! Today I have a very glittery and glitzy card to share, which will dazzle any recipient.

Layers of ink - Glitter Heart Background tutorial by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

I made a card with an entire glitter background, die cut with Simon Says Stamp Drawn Hearts from the fantastic Luxe Glitter Cardstock. I used the Champagne version of the glitter cardstock and you might have noticed the little glitter hearts used on my last two projects. They were from this die cutting session and I knew I wanted to use the entire sheet on a background too. 

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Flowers.

For the dimensional flowers, start by die cutting Simon Says Stamp Rustic Layering Flower and Wildflower Bucket from heavystock cardstock, white glitter cardstock, white cardstock and Tim Holtz backdrops cardstock.

Ink and shape the flowers.

Ink the flowers with neutral shades of Distress Ink and shape the flowers with Tim Holtz Shaping Tool Kit.

Layer the flowers together. I added a paper center to some of them and a Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Peachy Gem to some of them. The sentiment was stamped with brown Archival Ink using Simon Says Stamp Be Your Beautiful Self set and die cut with the coordinating die.


The flowers have quite a lot of dimension.

Dimensional Paper flowers.

At the bottom there is a larger cluster of flowers and a smaller sentiment, from the same stamp set.


It is hart to capture the glimmer in all its might. The silver vellum also glimmers and the Luxe Cardstock has a disco ball look which changes depending on how the light falls.
