Here are this week’s colors…

… and here is my card.

This past Tuesday I held a Bloomin’ Love Bundle Class. I designed four different projects for the class: a cute kiddie one, a sweet feminine one, a clean masculine one, and this rather sexy bordello inspired one.

When I was designing these projects, I thought I was so clever to come up with this one. Then later I realized I didn’t come up with this one at all. I had seen it before. My fellow demonstrator, Julie DiMatteo, created a card like this, except in Watermelon Wonder instead of Cherry Cobbler, and posted it to one of our demo Facebook pages. I had seen it, then forgotten that I had seen it. But the design stuck with me. So today I’m sharing a card I thought I designed, but actually CASEd from the Paper Pixie.

This version is Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler card stock, with Pearl Basic Jewels and a white heat embossed sentiment. For my example here, I cut another floral heart from Whisper White CS and glued it under the Basic Black one, thinking it would add an interesting dimension. I tried it directly under the black heart and offset to different degrees, but I didn’t particularly like it, so I deleted that step from the class kits. You can see just a little of the white peeking out in the photo above, so please just squint and pretend it isn’t there!

I cut one heart, 2 larger flowers, and 3 smaller flowers, using the Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits Dies. This heart is a very intricate die. I highly recommend using the Precision Base Plate with the Magnetic Platform, and running it back and forth through the Big Shot a few times…

…then use the Die Brush to remove the heart and all the little scraps from the die.

The sentiment is from the Groovy Love stamp set…

…but you could certainly use one of the sentiments from the Bloomin’ Love stamp set.

Here’s what I used. Click on the images below to get the products you need to make your own version of today’s card!
