Visible Image DT - Immortal Love

 Today I am showing you a card and tag I made using the Immortal Love set from Visible Image Stamps.


Visible Image Blog Badge, Blinkie

First the card ...
I was listening to Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and this card kind of popped into my head!! I stamped the large rose once and the smaller rose twice from the Immortal Love onto  kraft core coredinations and heat sert before cutting out.  I stamped the Music background onto cardstock and cut out 6 squares using my nesties.  I cut another 3 squares from the same cards stock and then stamped the barbed wire from the Immortal Love set onto them.  I distressed all the edges.  I diecut the banner and stamped the love sentiment from the Immortal Love set onto it before adding some gems.  Finally I layered up the roses.

I stamped the large rose from the Immortal Love set out and colorured it using my pens.  Using black soot distress ink I stamped the border using the Grunge flourish stamp and the barbed wire and love sentiment from the Immortal Love set and then embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I then covered the tag wit fired brick distress in k and covered that with clear embossing powder and heated - this gives it the rusty texture.  I went over the tag using vintage photo distress ink in order to age it, before popping the rose onto  3d foam pads and adding some stained seam binding.


 And for more inspiration don't forget to check out the Visible Image's facebook page, and the Visible Image blog where we have a monthly challenge.  This month's theme is Brighten your day - so lots of bright colours.
