Hugs – Anything Goes With Dies

Hello everyone! It is time for a new anything goes with dies. And today, I have this CAS Hugs card to share with you all.

I used the Concord & 9th – Layer Love Dies for the background. I cut out a piece of watercolor paper with the stripe heart die and the added it on a purple card base using Dries Clear permanent glue adhesive.

The sentiment is from Divinity Designs – Hugs Stamp/Die Duo. I stamped it under the heart with VersaFine Clair ink pad and Mini MISTI.

I cut out couple dark purple cardstock using the Hugs word die from the same stamp/die duo set. I stacked them together with Dries Clear permanent adhesive glue to create the chipboard look – word sentiment. I added the hugs word sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape.

I cut out several mini flower petals from the Divinity Designs – Roses Dies out of soft pink cardstock. I used my embossing tool to curl the petals and added them on the card with permanent glue adhesive. I added some mini gems on the flowers for extra bling.
