Wings of Love Inspiration | Love Cards with Elena

Hello dear readers! Elena Salo is here again! I’ve got a chance to play with a new collection of the dies, which was created by Joanne Fink. It is On the Wings of Love.  It contains a lot of frequently used sentiments like “Thanks”, “Love “, “Create” and many others which, I think, can add beauty to every card. I also liked the gorgeous alphabet. As for all abstract images, which are in the set, actually it was quite a challenge for me to use them in my projects since I always tried to avoid such items in my cards because I didn’t know how to use them properly. And this time I realized, that such abstract images don’t limit you in colors and shapes you choose. Actually, it’s even easier to use them in your cards.

So, today I played with two sets from the collection: S4-891 Swirl Heart  and S4-899 Love Frame, and also a sentiment “Love” from S3-311 Live Laugh Love.

Instructions:

  • Die-cut two large hearts out of white cardstock using Love Frame S4-899 and Love Frame S4-899;
  • Apply double-sided adhesive on the back side of the labels, before removing the die. Do it gently, don’t loose any tiny piece of the die-cut;
  • Take off the main images from the die-cuts carefully and leave only the inner details:

  • Color all the inner parts with different colors:

  • Create two card bases out of white cardstock. Adhere the light grey piece of cardstock on the card bases and leave a tiny white frame on each of them:

  • Die cut the word “Love” using the Live Laugh Love S3-311 three times for each card. Adhere them together with liquid glue, color every sentiment brown and cover it with Wink of Stella shimmer brush:
