Together Card with Calligraphic Heart on Sequin Fabric

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a rather romantic card that you could use for Valentine's Day or for a wedding or anniversary.  I had purchased some reversible sequin fabric, and was experimenting using it for card making.  This is one of the results.  The sequins certainly make a statement!

I started by cutting a rectangle out of watercolour paper and then cutting a circle out of the rectangle near the top with a moderately large circle die.  I added some colour to the paper using Nuance powders.  These are water soluble powdered dies that have very vivid rich colours.  Sprinkle them on very sparingly and then spray lightly with water. 

Let dry, and then with a fine tip applicator, drizzle a bit of glue here and there onto the watercolour paper.  Sprinkle with burnished silver gilding powder and heat emboss.  I also gilded the card edges using embossing ink and the silver powder.

Die cut the word 'together' and a calligraphic heart from the Calligraphic Elements 2 set, dab with embossing ink and coat with burnished silver gilding powder.  Heat to melt.  

Layer sequin fabric under the die cut circle and back with a piece of cardstock before adhering everything to a card base.  I found that that gave the fabric some good stability.  Thanks for stopping by and happy card making!
