Featuring Swirly Hearts. Hi Crafters, today over at So Suzy Stamps, we are having a stamp celebration! The Swirly Hearts  is being featured by myself and other design team members and. It is a perfect stamp that can be used for the love month, wedding cards or celebrations of life, it can be paired with a lot of sentiments or die cuts, and it is one of my favorites that is ideal for experimenting new techniques.
FEATURING SWIRLY HEARTS
To create this card I used the new colors of WOW embossing Powder and a cross stitched die rectangle die cut. I also combined the Swirly Hearts with the sentiment PS I love you both from So Suzy Stamps.
IMPORTANT: My best tip to always have crispy embossing is to use an embossing buddy or anti static pad over the paper before stamping the images.
1. Cut a very vanilla card stock layer and stamp the Swirly Hearts with WOW Embossing Pad or Versamark, using the MISTI. Don’t remove your stamp from the MISTI because you will use it again soon.

2. Partially cover the stamped image with one of the new colors of WOW Embossing Powder. I am using Iris and Yum Yum Bubble Gum. Apply first one color, remove the excess and then apply the second color.

3. Melt the powder with the heat tool and repeat steps 1 and 2 to have more dimension and intensity on the colors.

4. If you want you can repeat this process more times to have a marble design over the Swirly Hearts.  I only repeated the process one time.

5. Cut the layer with the decorated cross stitched rectangle frame, paste a melon mambo border on the left side and paste the entire layer over a Perfect Plum card base.
6. Stamp the sentiment PS I love you over the card using a coordinated ink.
