Elegant Heart Hug

Instructions:
Cut Deluxe Flower Shaping paper to 12 x 6" size, score and fold at 6" to create card base. Cut a piece from sheet 5B of the Friendship Rose Paper Collection to 5 7/8 x 5 7/8" size. Sponge the edges with Magenta Hue ink and attach onto card base. Cut the top right 6 x 6" panel from sheet 10A of the paper collection. Cut the left decorative side of panel to 2 1/4" width, then cut it to 4" length from the top, leaving the other piece of the section at 2". Cut a 2 3/8 x 5 11/16" size panel from the white cardstock. Sponge the edges of the decorative paper pieces with Magenta Hue and then attach the two pieces onto the cardstock, overlapping the shorter piece on top of the longer one.
Diecut the HCD2-7430 Decorative Heart Die twice from Deluxe Flower Shaping cardstock. Layer these two on top of each other for sturdiness. Diecut the two of the decorative hearts from the same cardstock again, this time using only the inside 2 die pieces together to create the white border hearts. Diecut another border heart, this time from Luxe Gold cardstock. Diecut the scalloped heart piece from burgundy paper sheet 6B from the paper collection. Layer the one of the white border hearts onto the burgundy scalloped heart. Layer the other white border heart onto the gold one, offsetting it so the gold shows through a bit. Sponge the outer and inner edges of the white border heart with Magenta Hue and Lighthouse ink. Use hot glue to layer the white/gold border heart on top of the burgundy one. Build up the layer of glue so that there is about 1/4" of dimension in between the heart layers.
Stamp the rose heart from HCPC-31005 Friendship Rose Heart Stamp Set in Jet Black ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping cardstock and diecut with the coordinating die. Stamp the ‘Sending you a hug’ sentiment in a combo of Magenta Hue & Lighthouse ink onto the cardstock. Fussy cut the sentiment with a scissors and lightly sponge the edges with Magenta Hue ink.
Color the rose heart using the Vivid Chartreuse and Leaf Green ink on the leaves and Pink Peony, Magenta Hue and a touch of Lighthouse on the roses. Use Pink Peony on the little sprays in between the buds. Use the Light Pink Zig marker along with the color blender to add some extra pop of color on the roses. Apply a thin film of Crystal Lacquer over the colored images. Use the shaping stylus from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to shape the roses.
Cut the double layered white decorative heart in half widthwise. Overlap and attach onto card as pictured using hot glue. Attach the patterned paper strip on top using dimensional adhesive and hot glue. Cut apart the rose image and attach onto the dimensional heart. Then attach onto card as shown. Attach the sentiment. To add some more sparkle, apply the Dries Clear glue onto a yellow sponge, dab over card and sprinkle with Mustard glitter as desired.
