Here is a card I made this morning following this sketch from Retro Sketches
I had recently bought a Sizzix die which makes the swirly cord effect and wanted to try it out. I had to cut off the outer ring as it seemed too large for this card but I'm really pleased with the overall effect.
The two background panels were made with a Crafty Individuals crackle stamp, embossed with Black and Gold Tinsel embossing powder. I love the effect of the mixed powders. I have a video here showing how I do this.
They were cut with a Lil Inkers stitched rectangular die, reducing the size of each piece to fit the card blank.
The hearts are from from Lil Inkers and the sequins from Dienamics.
The tiny tag is from Lili of the Valley.
Wow, this is a really beautiful card! Another idea to try out, thanks for the inspiration!
