Shabby Chic Heart Valentine's Card + Video
Glitter Paste, Layered Butterflies & Flowers

I was inspired by a friend not long ago who shared a few videos and cards using glitter paste. I decided to create a duplicate paste hoping it would end up as pretty as the original. Turns out it did. Today I'm sharing a video showing you how I made this shabby chic Valentine's card and how I created glitter paste using supplies I already had in my stash.




Main Supplies:
ODBD dies: Ornate Hearts / Angel Wings / Soulful Stitches paper pack
Carta Bella Hello Again paper pack
Marianne Designs Vintage Butterfly
Dreamweaver translucent and gold embossing paste / Palette knife
Ranger: Distress Ink reinker in Dried Marigold / Mini mister
Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter
Marion Smith Designs Pearl Stamens - White
Miscelaneous: Pearl stickers / vintage style button / gauze / word bead / stencils / pink metallic cardstock / white leather textured cardstock

There's also a step by step tutorial on how I created this layered butterfly embellishment here. The flowers which were also handmade were created using the technique I shared on my Handmade Flowers Tutorial Series, here.

I enjoyed creating this card so much. All the delicate die cuts and elements added make this card perfect for Valentine's. I hope you enjoyed today's post and tutorials. Leave me a comment below to let me know if you found the video and tutorial guide useful.

Mark your calendars and stop by on Monday, February 1st. to be part of a new blog hop and giveaway! I know you will love to see all the new products and inspiration projects the designers will be sharing.

Thanks for visiting!
